RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs
guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus …

Since the discovery of eukaryotic small RNAs as the main effectors of RNA interference in
the late 1990s, diverse types of endogenous small RNAs have been characterized, most …

Communication between plant cells and interacting microorganisms requires the secretion
and uptake of functional molecules to and from the extracellular environment and is …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea can enter plant cells and hijack
host Argonaute protein 1 (AGO1) to silence host immunity genes. However, the mechanism …

Plant pathogens are one of the main factors hindering the breeding of cash crops.
Pathogens, including oomycetes, fungus, and bacteria, secrete effectors as invasion …

Eukaryotic small RNAs (sRNAs) are short non-coding regulatory molecules that induce RNA
interference (RNAi). During microbial infection, host RNAi machinery is highly regulated and …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogenic fungus that infects hundreds of plant species,
including many of the world's most important crops. Key features of S. sclerotiorum include …

There is no doubt that Trichoderma is an inhabitant of the rhizosphere that plays an
important role in how plants interact with the environment. Beyond the production of cell wall …

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a regulatory mechanism
conserved in almost all eukaryotes. sRNAs play a critical role in host pathogen interactions …

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved regulatory
mechanism for gene expression throughout the domain Eukarya. Recent studies have …
