Abstract excerpt
In plants, 22-nucleotide small RNAs trigger the production of secondary small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and enhance silencing. DICER-LIKE2 (DCL2)-dependent 22-nucleotide siRNAs are rare in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and are thought to function mainly during viral infection; by contrast, these siRNAs are abundant in many crops such as soybean (Glycine max) and maize (Zea mays). Here, we studied soybean...
