In eukaryotes, ARGONAUTE proteins (AGOs) associate with microRNAs (miRNAs), short
interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and other classes of small RNAs to regulate target RNA or target
loci. Viral infection in plants induces a potent and highly specific antiviral RNA silencing
response characterized by the formation of virus-derived siRNAs. Arabidopsis thaliana has...

Recalcitrance to transformation makes genetic engineering of many valuable plants infeasible for practical use. Transitory host modification during transformation using transgenes offers a possible means of overcoming this obstacle. In prior work in our laboratory, the genes GA20ox7 and EBB1 were found to increase regeneration in vitro. In this project,...
