A method for transient gene expression was developed for western white pine(WWP,Pinus monticola Dougl.ex D.Don)using reporter gene uidA encodingβ-glucuronidase(GUS).GUS was transiently expressed in cross sections of ...
Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) infects perennial orchids (Phalaenopsis amabilis) and causes a widespread viral disease. RNA-silencing of viral genes is a promising and effective way of controlling viral infection...
RNAi is an efficient surveillance machinery that plays a robust defensive role in shielding plant and animal hosts against viral infections. In counter-defense viruses encode suppressor proteins that have the ability ...
