Abstract excerpt
RNA silencing is a eukaryotic mechanism for RNA-based gene regulation that plays an essential role in diverse biological processes, such as defence against viral infections. The P1 of rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a movement protein and displays RNA silencing suppression activity with variable efficiency, depending on the origin of the isolates. In this study, the positive selection pressure acting on the P1...
