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 …

Many scientists, if not all, feel that their particular plant virus should appear in any list of the
most important plant viruses. However, to our knowledge, no such list exists. The aim of this …

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

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific posttranscriptional gene
silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a …

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 …

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 …

Transient gene expression is a fast, flexible and reproducible approach to high‐level
expression of useful proteins. In plants, recombinant strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens …

Double-stranded RNA-mediated gene interference (RNAi) in Caenorhabditis elegans
systemically inhibits gene expression throughout the organism. To investigate how gene …

Virus vectors carrying host‐derived sequence inserts induce silencing of the corresponding
genes in infected plants. This virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a manifestation of an …

Mixed infections of plant viruses are common in nature, and a number of important virus
diseases of plants are the outcomes of interactions between causative agents. Multiple …
