The Whys and Wherefores of Transitivity in Plants

The Whys and Wherefores of Transitivity in Plants

Transitivity in plants is a mechanism that produces secondary small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from a transcript targeted by primary small RNAs (sRNAs). It expands the silencing signal to additional sequences of the transcript. The process requires RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRs), which convert...
