Sensitivity of Small RNA-Based Detection of Plant Viruses
Plants recognize unrelated viruses by the antiviral defense system called RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi processes double-stranded viral RNA into small RNAs (sRNAs) of 21–24 nucleotides, the reassembly of which into longer strands in silico allows virus identification by comparison with the sequences...
