Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) is a bipartite single-stranded RNA virus that encodes a replicase, movement protein, and silencing suppressor on TRV1 and a capsid protein on TRV2. Researchers typically ins
Post-transcriptional gene silence (PTGS) is employed in plants to shut down transgenes, invading viral genes and a certain group of endogenous genes. Meanwhile, it is not clear how the risk of expansi
In eukaryotic cells, environmental and developmental signals alter chromatin structure and modulate gene expression. Heterochromatin constitutes the transcriptionally inactive state of the genome and
