The Rice Dwarf Virus P2 Protein Interacts with ent -Kaurene Oxidases in Vivo, Leading to Reduced Biosynthesis of Gibberellins and Rice Dwarf Symptoms

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the P2 protein of RDV interferes with the function of a cellular factor, through direct physical interactions, that is important for the biosynthesis of a growth hormone leading to symptom expression, and may provide a novel tool to investigate the regulation of GA metabolism for plant growth and development.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: It is reported that rice resistance to evolutionarily diverse viruses requires Argonaute18 (AGO18), and a novel cooperative antiviral activity of two distinct AGO proteins is uncovered, suggesting a new strategy for the control of viral diseases in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI

ROS accumulation and antiviral defence control by microRNA528 in rice.

TL;DR: The findings reveal a mechanism in which antiviral defence is boosted through suppression of an miRNA that negatively regulates viral resistance, which could be manipulated to engineer virus-resistant crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virus infection triggers widespread silencing of host genes by a distinct class of endogenous siRNAs in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is proposed that antiviral RNAi activates broad-spectrum antiviral activity via widespread silencing of host genes directed by vasiRNAs in addition to specific antiviral defense by viral siRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral infection induces expression of novel phased microRNAs from conserved cellular microRNA precursors.

TL;DR: These results provide a comparative analysis of changes in the small RNA profiles and in the genes of RNA silencing machinery induced by different viruses in a natural and economically important crop host plant, and uncover new mechanisms and complexity of virus-host interactions.
