The role of MicroRNAs in defense against viral phytopathogens
2019-08-01
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs have been considered as an endogenous post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism for transcription regulation. Additionally, reports are indicative of their involvement in plant viral defense. It seems that horizontal miRNA transfer from pathogenic viral and viroid genomes into plants has evolved into the counter-defense mechanism(s) against their invasions. miRNAs of a green alga and 16 other higher...
