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

siRNA Versus miRNA as Therapeutics for Gene Silencing
Discovered a little over two decades ago, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs with important roles in gene regulation.

The term virus-induced gene silencing' (VIGS) was first used to describe the phenomenon of recovery from virus infection, a natural plant antiviral mechanism, which recently has been exploited as a genetic technique involving recombinant viruses with a ...

The Whys and Wherefores of Transitivity in Plants
Transitivity in plants is a mechanism that produces secondary small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from a transcript targeted by primary small RNAs (sRNAs). It expands the silencing signal to additional sequences of the transcript.

Secondary siRNAs in Plants: Biosynthesis, Various Functions, and Applications in Virology
The major components of RNA silencing include both transitive and systemic small RNAs, which are technically called secondary sRNAs. Double-stranded RNAs trigger systemic silencing pathways to negatively regulate gene expression.

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 ...

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.

The post-transcriptional gene silencing pathway in Eucalyptus
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a conserved surveillance mechanism that identifies and cleaves double-stranded RNA molecules and their cellular cognate transcripts.
