Transcriptional and post transcriptional plant gene silencing in response to a pathogen

Plants are able to respond to pathogen attack to restrain development of a systemic infection. The response of Brassica napus to systemic infection with the DNA virus cauliflower mosaic virus was shown to result in enhancement and subsequent suppression of viral gene expression, and was mediated by...

Description
Summary:Plants are able to respond to pathogen attack to restrain development of a systemic infection. The response of Brassica napus to systemic infection with the DNA virus cauliflower mosaic virus was shown to result in enhancement and subsequent suppression of viral gene expression, and was mediated by both transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms.
