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 …

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 …

Much progress has been made recently in identifying the molecular components of RNA
silencing in plants, and in understanding their roles in the biogenesis of small interfering …

RNA silencing is an essential gene-regulation mechanism in eukaryotic organisms. Guided
by small RNAs (sRNAs) of 20–25 nt in length, RNA silencing broadly governs a wide range …

RNA silencing is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in eukaryotic organisms induced
by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and plays an essential role in regulating gene expression …

Abstract 'RNA silencing'refers to related processes of post-trancriptional control of gene
expression found in plants, animals and fungi. A unifying feature of RNA silencing is that it …

RNA silencing is an evolutionary conserved sequence-specific gene inactivation
mechanism that contributes to the control of development, maintains heterochromatin, acts …

RNA silencing is an ancient eukaryotic pathway in which double stranded RNA (dsRNA)
triggers destruction of related RNAs in the cell. Early studies in plants pointed to a role for …

RNA silencing is a homology-dependent gene inactivation mechanism that regulates a wide
range of biological processes including antiviral defense. To deal with host antiviral …

Host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) refers to the silencing of genes in pathogens and pests
by expressing homologous double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) or artificial microRNAs …
