Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that regulates many aspects of plant
growth and development, as well as resistance to (a) biotic stress. Efforts to identify SA …

Sophisticated regulation of gene expression, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and their
target genes, is required for leaf differentiation, growth, and senescence. The impact of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal modulators of plant development and host–virus
interactions. However, the roles and action modes of specific miRNAs involved in viral …

This article analyzes the mechanism of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks initiated by hackers
from the perspective of computer networks. In order to effectively estimate the performance …

RNA interference (RNAi)-based antiviral defense is a small RNA-dependent repression
mechanism of plants to against viruses. Although the core components of antiviral RNAi are …

Transcriptional reprogramming is integral to effective plant defense. Pathogen effectors act
transcriptionally and posttranscriptionally to suppress defense responses. A major challenge …
