Viral-inducible Argonaute18 confers broad-spectrum virus resistance in rice by sequestering a host microRNA

Viral pathogens are a major threat to rice production worldwide. Although RNA interference (RNAi) is known to mediate antiviral immunity in plant and animal models, the mechanism of antiviral RNAi in rice and other economically important crops is poorly understood. Here, we report that rice resistan...
