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 …
Viroids are small, single-stranded, circular RNAs infecting plants. Composed of only a few hundred nucleotides and being unable to code for proteins, viroids represent the lowest …

In eukaryotes, small RNA molecules engage in sequence-specific interactions to inhibit gene expression by RNA silencing. This process fulfils fundamental regulatory roles, as well …
In diverse eukaryotic organisms, Dicer-processed, virus-derived small interfering RNAs direct antiviral immunity by RNA silencing or RNA interference. Here we show that in …

Understanding the fundamental nature of a molecular process or a biological pathway is often a catalyst for the development of new technologies in biology. Indeed, studies from late …
Although they induce symptoms in plants similar to those accompanying virus infections, viroids have unique structural, functional, and evolutionary characteristics. They are …
Transposable elements (TE s) generate mutations and chromosomal instability when active. To repress TE activity, eukaryotic cells evolved mechanisms to both degrade TE mRNA s …
