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 …

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

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 pan-eukaryotic, sequence-specific gene regulation mechanism with
recognized roles in development and maintenance of genome integrity. In plants, this …

Gene silencing through the increased degradation of mRNA appears to represent a novel
cellular pathway that is functional in a broad range of organisms. Recent work has …

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 …

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