Virus-induced RNA silencing is involved in plant antiviral defense and requires key enzyme components, including RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRs), Dicer-like RNase III enzymes (DCLs), and Argonaute proteins (AGOs). However, the transcriptional regulation of these critical components is largely
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a common reverse genetics strategy for characterizing the function of genes in plants. The detailed mechanism governing RNA silencing efficiency triggered by viruses is largely unclear. Here, we reveal that a petunia (Petunia hybrida) ocs element binding
In the present study we examined the possibility that viruses, viroids or dsRNA are associated with cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) petunia. The assumption was made that if viruses or viroids were present, the treatments for elimination of viruses and viroids would produce "healthy" fertile plants.
