[EN] Gene silencing for functional studies in plants has been largely facilitated by manipulating viral genomes with inserts from host genes to trigger virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) against the corresponding mRNAs. ...
[EN] Infection by viroids, non-protein-coding circular RNAs, occurs with the accumulation of 21¿24 nt viroid-derived small RNAs (vd-sRNAs)
with characteristic properties of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) associated to RNA ...
