Reduction of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 in Nicotiana benthamiana enhances gene silencing induced by Foxtail mosaic virus
RNA silencing or RNA interference in plants and animals plays essential roles in cellular defense against viral infection and abnormally expressed genes in a sequence-specific manner [1]. In the plants infected by RNA viruses, viral replicative intermediates, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), are forme...

Zusammenfassung: | RNA silencing or RNA interference in plants and animals plays essential roles in cellular defense against viral infection and abnormally expressed genes in a sequence-specific manner [1]. In the plants infected by RNA viruses, viral replicative intermediates, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), are formed and cleaved into small interfering RNA (siRNA) by Dicer-like (DCL) proteins [2]. |
