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 …

Protection against microbial infection in eukaryotes is provided by diverse cellular and
molecular mechanisms. Here, we present a comparative view of the antiviral activity of virus …

Host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology has emerged as a powerful alternative to
chemical treatments for protecting plants from pathogens or pests. More than 170 HIGS …

Adaptive antiviral immunity in plants is an RNA-based mechanism in which small RNAs
derived from both strands of the viral RNA are guides for an Argonaute (AGO) nuclease. The …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an RNA-mediated reverse genetics technology that
has evolved into an indispensable approach for analyzing the function of genes. It …

Gene silencing mediated by small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) is a fundamental gene
regulation mechanism in eukaryotes that broadly governs cellular processes. It has been …

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 …

Tolerance is defined as an interaction in which viruses accumulate to some degree without
causing significant loss of vigor or fitness to their hosts. Tolerance can be described as a …

The increasing pace of global warming and climate instability will challenge the
management of pests and diseases of cultivated plants. Several reports have shown that …

Plant virus genome replication and movement is dependent on host resources and factors.
However, plants respond to virus infection through several mechanisms, such as autophagy …
