DICER-LIKE2 plays a primary role in transitive silencing of transgenes in Arabidopsis.

DICER-LIKE2 plays a primary role in transitive silencing of transgenes in Arabidopsis.

Dicer-like (DCL) enzymes play a pivotal role in RNA silencing in plants, processing the long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that triggers silencing into the primary short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that mediate it. The siRNA population can be augmented and silencing amplified via transitivity, an RNA-de...
