A Partial Defense of Illocutionary Silencing
Hypatia, 2011Catharine MacKinnon has pioneered a new brand of anti-pornography argument. In particular, MacKinnon claims that pornography silences women in a way that violates their right to free speech. In what follows, we focus on a certain account of silencing put forward by Jennifer Hornsby and Rae Langton, and we defend that account against two important ...

piRNA-Guided Genome Defense: From Biogenesis to Silencing
Annual Review of Genetics, 2018PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and their associated PIWI clade Argonaute proteins constitute the core of the piRNA pathway. In gonadal cells, this conserved pathway is crucial for genome defense, and its main function is to silence transposable elements. This is achieved through posttranscriptional and transcriptional gene silencing.

Silencing the Jasmonate Cascade: Induced Plant Defenses and Insect Populations
Science, 2004We transformed the native tobacco, Nicotiana attenuata , to silence its lipoxygenase, hydroperoxide lyase, and allene oxide synthase genes in order to inhibit oxylipin signaling, known to mediate the plant's direct and indirect defenses.

Journal of Applied Psychology, 2016 Drawing from an approach-avoidance perspective, we examine the relationships between subordinates' perceptions of abusive supervision, fear, defensive silence, and ultimately abusive supervision at a later time point. We also account for the effects of subordinates' assertiveness and individual perceptions of a climate of fear on these predicted ...

A Similarity Between Viral Defense and Gene Silencing in Plants
Science, 1997Gene silencing in plants, in which an endogenous gene is suppressed by introduction of a related transgene, has been used for crop improvement. Observations that viruses are potentially both initiators and targets of gene silencing suggested that this phenomenon may be related to natural defense against viruses.

Plant viruses against RNA silencing-based defenses: Strategies and solutions
2020Plants defend themselves from pathogenic virus infections by deploying a complex defense system. Fundamental in the plant antiviral immune system is the RNA silencing (RS) pathway, which consists in a multilayered set of enzymatic components. The RS machinery targets the double-stranded RNA, generating 21-24 nucleotides (nt) small interfering RNAs ...

Women's Justice: Alan's Wife and the Defense of Silence
Victorian Studies, 2023Abstract: Elizabeth Robins and Florence Bell's Alan's Wife (1893) shocked its first audiences with the brutality of the piece, but the play holds greater historical interest for its fusion of nineteenth-century theatrical approaches. The Naturalism associated with the independent theater movement is apparent in the debates about eugenics, capital ...
