RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism in eukaryotes that plays an important role in
various biological processes including regulation of gene expression. RNA silencing also …

Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, poses a major threat to
a broad host range of more than 400 plant species, including economically important cotton …

RNA silencing is a central regulator of gene expression in most eukaryotes and acts both at
the transcriptional level through DNA methylation and at the post-transcriptional level …

To reduce the losses caused by plant pathogens, plant biologists have adopted numerous
methods to engineer resistant plants. Among them, RNA silencing-based resistance has …

Gene silencing through the increased degradation of mRNA appears to represent a novel
cellular pathway that is functional in a broad range of organisms. Recent work has …

RNA silencing is a common strategy shared by eukaryotic organisms to regulate gene
expression, and also operates as a defense mechanism against invasive nucleic acids such …

SUMMARY RNA silencing is a conserved eukaryotic pathway involved in suppression of
gene expression via sequence‐specific interactions that are mediated by nt 21–24‐long …

During plant-pathogen interactions, plants have to defend the living transposable elements
from pathogens. In response to such elements, plants activate a variety of defense …

Recent discoveries regarding small RNAs and the mechanisms of gene silencing are
providing new opportunities to explore fungal pathogen–host interactions and potential …

Plants have a number of ways to resist viruses. Innate responses, such as those triggered by
dominant resistance gene products, include local cell death and systemic acquired …
