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 …

Due to the spectacular number of studies focusing on epigenetics in the last few decades,
and particularly for the last few years, the availability of a chronology of epigenetics appears …

Head blight, which is caused by mycotoxin-producing fungi of the genus Fusarium, is an
economically important crop disease. We assessed the potential of host-induced gene …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous∼ 22 nt RNAs that can play important regulatory
roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression …

In Caenorhabditis elegans, lin-4 and let-7 encode 22-and 21-nucleotide (nt) RNAs,
respectively, which function as key regulators of developmental timing. Because the …

RNA interference (RNAi) is the mechanism through which double-stranded RNAs silence
cognate genes,,,,. In plants, this can occur at both the transcriptional and the post …

A conserved biological response to double-stranded RNA, known variously as RNA
interference (RNAi) or post-transcriptional gene silencing, mediates resistance to both …

There are at least three RNA silencing pathways for silencing specific genes in plants. In
these pathways, silencing signals can be amplified and transmitted between cells, and may …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of∼ 22-nucleotide noncoding RNAs thought to
regulate gene expression in metazoans. We find that miRNAs are also present in plants …

Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method of
silencing gene expression in a range of organisms. The silencing of a gene is a …
