RNA silencing-related genes contribute to tolerance of infection with potato virus X and Y in a susceptible tomato plant

Abstract Background In plants, the RNA silencing system functions as an antiviral defense mechanism following its induction with virus-derived double-stranded RNAs. This occurs through the action of RNA silencing components, including Dicer-like (DCL) nucleases, Argonaute (AGO) proteins, and RNA-dep...
