Abstract excerpt
Flowering plant genomes encode four or five DICER-LIKE (DCL) enzymes that produce small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs, which function in RNA interference (RNAi). Different RNAi pathways in plants effect transposon silencing, antiviral defense, and endogenous gene regulation. DCL2 acts genetically redundantly with DCL4 to confer basal antiviral defense. However, DCL2 may also counteract DCL4 since...
