RNA silencing plays a critical role in plant resistance against viruses, with multiple silencing
factors participating in antiviral defense. Both RNA and DNA viruses are targeted by the …

RNA silencing was originally identified as an immune system targeted against transposons
and viruses, but is now also recognized as a major regulatory process that affects all layers …

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 …

RNA silencing is a fundamental, evolutionarily conserved mechanism that regulates gene
expression in eukaryotes. It also functions as a primary immune defense in microbes, such …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
