Can We Explain RNA-Mediated Virus Resistance by Homology-Dependent Gene Silencing?

The use of viral sequences to produce virus-resistant plants is now almost a standard technique. A variety of sequences from a large number of viruses have been used but the mechanisms remain largely unknown. There are probably at least two distinct types of mechanisms operating: one requiring the e...
