Tomato DCL2b is required for the biosynthesis of 22-nt small RNAs, the resulting secondary siRNAs, and the host defense against ToMV

Tomato DCL2b is required for the biosynthesis of 22-nt small RNAs, the resulting secondary siRNAs, and the host defense against ToMV

Short sequences provide pathogen protection A protein that processes gene-regulating RNA molecules helps defend tomato plants against viral infections. The various DCL proteins play a prominent role in processing tiny RNAs known as microRNA and short interfering RNA, which in turn modulate gene acti...
