RNA silencing can reduce the expression of specific genes through posttranscriptional gene
silencing, the microRNA pathway, and also through transcriptional gene silencing …

In plants, the mechanism of RNA silencing has evolved to defend plants against viral
infection as well as to regulate of gene expression for growth and development. However …

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 …

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 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 …

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 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 …

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 in plants and insects can function as a defence mechanism against invading
viruses. RNA silencing-based antiviral defence entails the production of virus-derived small …
