Next-generation high throughput sequencing technologies became available at the onset of
the 21st century. They provide a highly efficient, rapid, and low cost DNA sequencing …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been applied to plant virology since 2009. NGS
provides highly efficient, rapid, low cost DNA, or RNA high-throughput sequencing of the …

Plant viruses affect crop production both quantitatively and qualitatively. The viral genome
consists of either DNA or RNA. However, most plant viruses are positive single-strand RNA …

Flowering plant genomes encode four or five DICER-LIKE (DCL) enzymes that produce
small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs, which function in RNA interference (RNAi) …

Small interfering RNA s (si RNA s) are silencing signals in plants. Virus‐resistant transgenic
rootstocks developed through si RNA‐mediated gene silencing may enhance virus …

Plant pathology has been revolutionized by the emergence and intervention of next-
generation sequencing technologies (NGS) which provide a fast, cost-effective, and reliable …

Soybean is a valuable crop that provides protein and oil. The soybean yield and quality are
affected by abiotic stresses viz. drought and heat stress. The process of poly (ADP-ribosyl) …

In plants and some animal lineages, RNA silencing is an efficient and adaptable defense
mechanism against viruses. To counter it, viruses encode suppressor proteins that interfere …

To identify the causal agent of citrus vein enation disease, we examined by deep
sequencing (Solexa-Illumina) the small RNA (sRNA) fraction from infected and healthy Etrog …

Background Viral small RNAs (vsiRNAs) in the infected host can be generated from viral
double-stranded RNA replicative intermediates, self-complementary regions of the viral …
