Genetic machinery for RNA silencing and defense against viruses in Citrus
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007 RNA silencing mechanisms are conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution, possibly due to their importance in viral resistance and other aspects of cell biology.

A Novel Epigenetic Silencing Pathway Involving the Highly Conserved 5'-3' Exoribonuclease Dhp1/Rat1/Xrn2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Epigenetic gene silencing plays a critical role in regulating gene expression and contributes to organismal development and cell fate acquisition in eukaryotes.

Virus‐induced gene silencing database for phenomics and functional genomics in Nicotiana benthamiana
Plant Direct, 2018 Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an important forward and reverse genetics method for the study of gene function in many plant species, especially Nicotiana benthamiana.

The Paf1 complex represses small RNA-mediated epigenetic gene silencing
Nature, 2015 RNA interference (RNAi) refers to the ability of exogenously introduced double-stranded RNA to silence expression of homologous sequences. Silencing is initiated when the enzyme Dicer processes the double-stranded RNA into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs).

Tertiary siRNAs mediate paramutation in C. elegans.
PLoS Genetics, 2015 In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, different small RNA-dependent gene silencing mechanisms act in the germline to initiate transgenerational gene silencing. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) can initiate transposon and gene silencing by acting upstream

Catch Me If You Can! RNA Silencing-Based Improvement of Antiviral Plant Immunity
Viruses, 2019 Viruses are obligate parasites which cause a range of severe plant diseases that affect farm productivity around the world, resulting in immense annual losses of yield.

Foxtail mosaic virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
Plant Methods, 2022 Background Although the genome for the allotetraploid bioenergy crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has been established, limitations in mutant resources have hampered in planta gene function studies toward crop optimization. Virus-induced gene silencing

Locus-specific ribosomal RNA gene silencing in nucleolar dominance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The silencing of one parental set of rRNA genes in a genetic hybrid is an epigenetic phenomenon known as nucleolar dominance. We showed previously that silencing is restricted to the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs), the loci where rRNA genes are ...
