Studies on plant–virus interactions for development of multiple resistance to plant viruses.

Research on the suppression mechanism of RNA silencing RNA silencing is a sequence-specific RNA degradation system and conserved in eukaryotes. In this study, we showed that TGBp1 of PlAMV inhibits double-stranded RNA synthesis in I trans i -acting small interfering RNA (tasiRNA) pathway, an endogenous RNA silencing pathway in I A i . Since double-stranded RNA synthesis has important roles in RNA silencing amplification and systemic signaling, targeting RDR6 and/or SGS3 could be highly advantageous. [Extracted from the article]
