## Abstract In plants, virus‐derived double‐stranded RNA is processed into small interfering (si)RNAs by RNAse III‐type enzymes. siRNAs are believed to guide an RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC) to promote sequence‐specific degradation (or ‘slicing’) of homologous viral transcripts. This process

Vector-based RNA interference (RNAi) has attracted great interest, because of its more prolonged gene silencing effect compared with small interfering RNA (siRNA). However, the intensity and duration of vector-based RNAi effect has received little attention. In this study, the gene silencing kinetic
## Abstract ## Background Schistosomiasis causes liver and intestinal damage and can be very debilitating. The pairing of a male worm with a female worm residing in the gynaecophoral canal of male plays a critical role in the development of female parasite. Because the male specific gynaecophoral
## Summary Tobacco plants transformed with the open‐reading frame (ORF) of tobacco mosaic virus strain U1 (TMV‐U1) encoding a 54 kDa (54K) region of the viral replicase are resistant against TMV strain U1. These plants are not resistant against the crucifer strain of TMV or the heterologous virus,
We present the cloning and sequence analysis of the nuclear-encoded Crithidia fasciculata small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene, the longest (2,206 bp) such gene yet characterized by direct sequence analysis. Much of the sequence can be folded to fit a phylogenetically conserved secondary structure model, w
