Members of the virus family Narnaviridae contain the simplest genomes of any RNA virus,
ranging from 2.3 to 3.6 kb and encoding only a single polypeptide that has an RNA …

While RNA interference (RNAi) functions as an antiviral response in plants, nematodes, and
arthropods, a similar antiviral role in mammals has remained controversial. Three recent …

Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Disease incited by Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)
causes huge losses in tomato production worldwide and is caused by different related …

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to genome size, organization and evolution. In
plants, their activity is primarily controlled by transcriptional gene silencing (TGS), usually …

RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved, sequence-specific gene-
inactivation system that plays an essential role in many biological processes, such as …

The P6 protein of Rice yellow stunt rhabdovirus (RYSV) is a virion structural protein that can
be phosphorylated in vitro. However its exact function remains elusive. We found that P6 …

ABSTRACT A novel victorivirus, termed Rosellinia necatrix victorivirus 1 (RnVV1), was
isolated from a plant pathogenic ascomycete, white root rot fungus Rosellinia necatrix …

In invertebrates such as insects and nematodes, RNA interference (RNAi) provides RNA-
based protection against viruses. This form of immunity restricts viral replication and …

The discovery of small non-coding RNAs has revolutionized our understanding of regulatory
networks governing multiple functions in animals and plants. However, our knowledge of …

Cysteine‐rich proteins (CRPs) encoded by some plant viruses in diverse genera function as
RNA silencing suppressors. Within the N‐terminal portion of CRPs encoded by furoviruses …
