The convergence of autophagy, small RNA and the stress response – implications for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in plants

Recent discoveries in eukaryotes have shown that autophagy-mediated degradation of DICER and ARGONAUTE (AGO), the proteins involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), can occur in response to viral infection and starvation. In plants, a virally encoded protein P0 specifically interacts w...
