Suppression of gene silencing: a general strategy used by diverse DNA and RNA viruses of plants.
TL;DR: Results suggest that virus-encoded suppressors of gene silencing have distinct modes of action, are targeted against distinct components of the host gene-silencing machinery, and that there is dynamic evolution of theHost and viral components associated with the gene- silencing mechanism.

Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance to rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) in cultivated African rice varieties containing RYMV transgenes
TL;DR: Transformed lines were resistant to RYMV strains from different African locations and transcription analysis indicated that the resistance derives from an RNA-based mechanism associated with posttranscriptional gene silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
