RNAi-Mediated Down-Regulation of Dicer-Like 2 and 4 Changes the Response of ‘Moneymaker’ Tomato to Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Infection from Tolerance to Lethal Systemic Necrosis, Accompanied by Up-Regulation of miR398, 398a-3p and Production of Excessive Amount of Reactive Oxygen Species

RNAi-Mediated Down-Regulation of Dicer-Like 2 and 4 Changes the Response of ‘Moneymaker’ Tomato to Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Infection from Tolerance to Lethal Systemic Necrosis, Accompanied by Up-Regulation of miR398, 398a-3p and Production of Excessive Amount of Reactive Oxygen Species

To examine the role of RNA silencing in plant defenses against viroids, a Dicer-like 2 and 4 (DCL2&amp;4)&#8211;double knockdown transgenic tomato plant line, 72E, was created. The expression of endogenous <i>SlDCL2</i>s and <i>SlDCL4</i> in line 72E decreased to abou...
