Virus-derived siRNAs (vsiRNAs) generated by the host RNA silencing mechanism are
effectors of plant's defense response and act by targeting the viral RNA and DNA in post …

Insect-borne flaviviruses produce a 300–500–base long noncoding RNA, termed
subgenomic flavivirus RNA (sfRNA), by stalling the cellular 5′–3′-exoribonuclease 1 …

Folded RNA elements that block processive 5′→ 3′ cellular exoribonucleases (xrRNAs)
to produce biologically active viral noncoding RNAs have been discovered in flaviviruses …

Untranslated regions (UTRs) of flaviviruses contain a large number of RNA structural
elements involved in mediating the viral life cycle, including cyclisation, replication, and …

The economic success of sugar beet production depends largely on the control of various
pathogens and pests. Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) has historically been a major …

Plant viruses are important pathogens that cause serious crop losses worldwide. They are
obligate intracellular parasites that commandeer a wide array of proteins, as well as …

Two members of the Benyviridae family and genus Benyvirus, Beet soil-borne mosaic virus
(BSBMV) and Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), possess identical genome …

Xrn1 is a major 5ʹ-3ʹ exoribonuclease involved in the RNA metabolism of many eukaryotic
species. RNA viruses have evolved ways to thwart Xrn1 in order to produce subgenomic …

Xrn1-resistant RNA structures are multifunctional elements employed by an increasing
number of RNA viruses. One of such elements is the coremin motif, discovered in plant virus …

Regulated mRNA decay plays a vital role in determining both the level and quality of cellular
gene expression. Viral RNAs must successfully evade this host RNA decay machinery to …
