In Vivo Gene Silencing of Potato Virus X by Small Interference RNAs in Transgenic Potato
2020-06-01
Abstract excerpt
RNA silencing is an important antiviral mechanism in plants. Small interfering RNAs (siRNA) or short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) are key stimulators for RNA silencing by acting as executors of viral restriction. Here, we have utilized RNAi technology to suppress potato virus X (PVX) in a transgenic potato cultivar. A stable shRNA of 107 bp directed against a conserved region in the coat protein (CP) gene of PVX was desig...
