Viruses are obligatory parasites that depend on host cellular factors for their replication as well as for their local and systemic movement to establish infection. Although myosin motors are thought to contribute to plant virus infection, their exact roles in the specific infection steps have not been addressed. Here we...
Virus-infected plants accumulate abundant, 21–24 nucleotide viral siRNAs which are generated by the evolutionary
conserved RNA interference (RNAi) machinery that regulates gene expression and defends against invasive nucleic acids.
Here we show that, similar to RNA viruses, the entire genome sequences of DNA viruses are densely covered with siRNAs in...
