Abstract excerpt
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is an important mechanism for regulation of plant gene expression and virus-plant interactions. To better understand this process, the heavy metal cadmium was identified as a specific inhibitor in two different PTGS systems, constitutive and inducible. The pattern of cadmium-induced inhibition of PTGS allowed several insights into PTGS development. First, cadmium...
