Abstract excerpt
Dicer-like (DCL) proteins are principal components of RNA silencing, a major defense mechanism against plant virus infections. However, their functions in suppressing virus-induced disease phenotypes remain largely unknown. Here, we identified a role for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) DCL2b in regulating the wiry leaf phenotype during defense against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Knocking out SlyDCL2b promoted TMV...
