In mammalian cells genes that are in close proximity can be transcriptionally coupled: silencing or activating one gene can affect its neighbors. Understanding these dynamics is important for natural processes, such as heterochromatin spreading during ...

Potato spindle tuber viroid as Inducer of RNA Silencing in Infected Tomato
Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), an RNA plant pathogen encoding no known proteins, induces systemic symptoms on tomato plants. We report detection of small RNAs of approximately 25 nucleotides with sequence specificity to PSTVd in infected plants: an

Virus‐Induced Gene Silencing, a Post Transcriptional Gene Silencing Method [PDF]
Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is one of the reverse genetics tools for analysis of gene function that uses viral vectors carrying a target gene fragment to produce dsRNA which trigger RNA‐mediated gene silencing. There are a number of viruses which have been modified to silence the gene of interest effectively with a sequence‐specific manner ...

Epigenetic silencing in transgenic plants
Epigenetic silencing is a natural phenomenon in which the expression of gene is regulated through modifications of DNA, RNA or histone proteins. It is a mechanism for defending host genomes against the effects of transposable element, viral infection and

Application of RNA Interference to Root-Knot Nematode Genes Encoding Esophageal Gland Proteins
Plant parasitic nematodes have been, so far, refractory to transformation or mutagenesis. The functional analysis of nematode genes relies on the development of reverse genetic tools adapted to these obligate parasites.
