Role of Arabidopsis AGO6 in siRNA accumulation, DNA methylation and transcriptional gene silencing

Argonautes (AGOs) are conserved proteins that contain an RNA‐binding PAZ domain and an RNase H‐like PIWI domain. In Arabidopsis , except for AGO1, AGO4 and AGO7, the roles of seven other AGOs in gene silencing are not known. We found that a mutation in AGO6 partially suppresses transcriptional gene...
