Abstract excerpt
The plant ARGONAUTE1 protein (AGO1) is a central functional component of the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression and the RNA silencing-based antiviral defense. By genomic and molecular approaches, we here reveal the presence of two homeologs of the AGO1-like gene in Nicotiana benthamiana, NbAGO1-1H and NbAGO1-1L. Both homeologs retain the capacity to transcribe messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which mainly...
