The suppression of RNA silencing by plant viruses represents a viral adaptation to a novel host antiviral defense. Three types of viral suppressors have been identified through the use of a variety of silencing suppression assays. The first two types of suppressor are capable of a complete or partia
## Abstract In plants, virusโderived doubleโstranded RNA is processed into small interfering (si)RNAs by RNAse IIIโtype enzymes. siRNAs are believed to guide an RNAโinduced silencing complex (RISC) to promote sequenceโspecific degradation (or โslicingโ) of homologous viral transcripts. This process
