Diverse functions of small RNAs in different plant-pathogen communications

RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism that utilizes small RNAs (sRNAs) to direct the regulation of gene expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level. Plants utilizing RNA silencing machinery to defend pathogen attack was first identified in plant-virus interaction and later was o...
