Gene Regulation: Silencing Complexes Spread Out
the commitment to a hermaphrodite development, but is not part of the putative oscillator itself. Recent experiments suggest that at least part of the C. briggsae oscillator regulates germline factors other than Cb-TRA-1 [19], and similar (but unknown) TRA-1-independent germline sex regulators have long been implicated in C. elegans [20]. This indicates that we have much to learn about the patt...
متن کاملGene silencing: Fleshing out the bones
Genetic studies are revealing the pathway for RNA-mediated gene silencing. Short RNA molecules are the key, giving sequence specificity for RNA degradation and mediating communication within and between cells; these short RNAs are common to transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing pathways.
متن کاملTomato and Tobacco Phytoene Desaturase Gene Silencing by Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) Technique
Background and Aims: Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) is a virus vector technology that exploits antiviral defense mechanism. By infecting plants with recombinant viruses containing host genes inserted in the viral genome, VIGS achieves the RNA silencing process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and tobacco (Nicotiana be...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional gene silencing can spread systemically through a plant
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants results from the action of a mechanism that surveys the RNAs in a cell and specifically degrades those it perceives as alien. The alien RNAs can be doublestranded (ds) or single-stranded (ss) molecules that have homology to dsRNA present in the cell. Most plant viruses have RNA genomes that replicate to produce plus and minus sense RNAs, with...
متن کاملGene silencing: Plants and viruses fight it out
Plants can become 'immune' to attack by viruses by degrading specific viral RNA, but some plant viruses have evolved the general capacity to suppress this resistance mechanism.
