RNA Silencing and Plant Viral Diseases
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
To reduce the losses caused by plant pathogens, plant biologists have adopted numerous methods to engineer resistant plants. Among them, RNA silencing-based resistance has been a powerful tool that has been used to engineer resistant crops during the last two decades. Virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) are found in the infected host cells, indicating that the host RNA silencing machinery can target viral RNAs for destruction. With the development of high-throughput sequencing of vsiRNAs,recent genetic studies have shed light on the origin and composition of vsiRNAs and their potential functions in the regulation of gene expression. Here, we review the current understanding of the complex mechanisms of VSRs that have been revealed by recent studies.
