Characterization of small interfering RNAs derived from the geminivirus/betasatellite complex using deep sequencing.
BACKGROUND: Small RNA (sRNA)-guided RNA silencing is a critical antiviral defense mechanism employed by a variety of eukaryotic organisms. Although the induction of RNA silencing by bipartite and monopartite begomoviruses has been described in plants, the nature of begomovirus/betasatellite complexe...
