Plant and animal viruses overcome host antiviral silencing by encoding diverse viral
suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs). Prior to the identification and characterization of their …

RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs
guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus …

RNA silencing represents an evolutionarily conserved defence mechanism that plays a key
antiviral role in protecting plants and animals against virus infection. To counterattack, plant …

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 …

RNA silencing refers to a broad range of phenomena sharing the common feature that large,
double-stranded RNAs or stem-loop precursors are processed to ca. 21–26 nucleotide small …

To understand how genes influence plant responses to the environment, it is important to
have appropriate tools for studying gene function. This may be a challenge for non‐model …

In higher plants, evolutionarily conserved processes playing an essential role during gene
expression rely on small noncoding RNA molecules (sRNA). Within a wide range of sRNA …

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a regulatory mechanism
conserved in almost all eukaryotes. sRNAs play a critical role in host pathogen interactions …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful approach for elucidating gene functions in a variety of
organisms, including phytopathogenic fungi. In such fungi, RNAi has been induced by …

RNA silencing is a conserved eukaryotic process mediated by small RNA molecules that
inhibit gene expression at the transcriptional, mRNA-stability or translational level through …
