[EN] DNA cytosine methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms in higher eukaryotes
and is considered to play a key role in transcriptional gene silencing. In plants, cytosine methylation can
occur in all sequence ...
[EN] In plants, RNA silencing functions as a potent antiviral mechanism. Virus-derived double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) trigger this mechanism, being cleaved by Dicer-like (DCL) enzymes into virus small RNAs (vsRNAs). These ...
