Medicinal plants grown under semi-arid conditions reveal much higher concentrations of
relevant natural products than the equivalent plants, but cultivated in moderate climates …

Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a recently developed gene transcript suppression
technique for characterizing the function of plant genes. The approach involves cloning a …

Spice and medicinal plants grown under water deficiency conditions reveal much higher
concentrations of relevant natural products compared with identical plants of the same …

CRISPR/Cas has emerged as potent genome editing technology and has successfully been
applied in many organisms, including several plant species. However, delivery of genome …

The majority of plant-infecting viruses utilize an RNA genome, suggesting that plants have
imposed strict constraints on the evolution of DNA viruses. The geminiviruses represent a …

Geminiviruses are small DNA viruses that use plant replication machinery to amplify their
genomes. Microarray analysis of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcriptome in …

Autophagy plays critical roles in plant responses to stress. In contrast to the wealth of
information concerning the core process of plant autophagosome assembly, our …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that exploits an RNA-mediated antiviral
defense mechanism. In plants infected with unmodified viruses the mechanism is specifically …

Like other eukaryotes, plants use DICER-LIKE (DCL) proteins as the central enzymes of
RNA silencing, which regulates gene expression and mediates defense against viruses. But …

Virus‐induced gene silencing was used to assess the function of random Nicotiana
benthamiana cDNAs in disease resistance. Out of 4992 cDNAs tested from a normalized …
