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 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 …

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 …

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 …

RNA silencing is an evolutionarily conserved sequence-specific gene-inactivation system
that also functions as an antiviral mechanism in higher plants and insects. To overcome …

RNA silencing suppressors, developed by plant viruses, are potent arms in the arm race
between plant and invading viruses. In higher plants, these proteins efficiently inhibit RNA …

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 …

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 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 …

The infection and replication of viruses in the host induce diverse mechanisms for combating
viral infection. One of the best-studied antiviral defence mechanisms is based on RNA …
