[HTML][HTML] Origin, biogenesis, and activity of plant microRNAs

O Voinnet - Cell, 2009 - cell.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key posttranscriptional regulators of eukaryotic gene expression.
Plants use highly conserved as well as more recently evolved, species-specific miRNAs to …

[HTML][HTML] Antiviral immunity directed by small RNAs

SW Ding, O Voinnet - Cell, 2007 - cell.com
… All viRNAs are stabilized through HEN1-dependent 2′-O-methylation. The figure shows
how primary viRNAs (1 st ) are amplified into secondary viRNAs (2 nd ) in the RDR6-…

RNA silencing as a plant immune system against viruses

O Voinnet - TRENDS in Genetics, 2001 - cell.com
‘RNA silencing' refers to related processes of post-trancriptional control of gene expression
found in plants, animals and fungi. A unifying feature of RNA silencing is that it mediates …

Retracted: An enhanced transient expression system in plants based on suppression of gene silencing by the p19 protein of tomato bushy stunt virus

O Voinnet, S Rivas, P Mestre, D Baulcombe - The plant journal, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Transient gene expression is a fast, flexible and reproducible approach to high‐level expression
of useful proteins. In plants, recombinant strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens can be …

A plant miRNA contributes to antibacterial resistance by repressing auxin signaling

…, F Jay, B Arnold, N Dharmasiri, M Estelle, O Voinnet… - Science, 2006 - science.org
Plants and animals activate defenses after perceiving pathogen-associated molecular
patterns (PAMPs) such as bacterial flagellin. In Arabidopsis, perception of flagellin increases …

Widespread translational inhibition by plant miRNAs and siRNAs

…, P Dunoyer, YY Yamamoto, L Sieburth, O Voinnet - Science, 2008 - science.org
High complementarity between plant microRNAs (miRNAs) and their messenger RNA targets
is thought to cause silencing, prevalently by endonucleolytic cleavage. We have isolated …

[HTML][HTML] Retracted: Viral pathogenicity determinants are suppressors of transgene silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana

G Brigneti, O Voinnet, WX Li, LH Ji, SW Ding… - The EMBO …, 1998 - embopress.org
Post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene
is suppressed in Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with potato virus Y (PVY) or with …

[HTML][HTML] Two classes of short interfering RNA in RNA silencing

A Hamilton, O Voinnet, L Chappell… - The EMBO journal, 2002 - embopress.org
RNA silencing is a eukaryotic genome defence system that involves processing of double‐stranded
RNA (dsRNA) into 21–26 nt, short interfering RNA (siRNA). The siRNA mediates …

Suppression of gene silencing: a general strategy used by diverse DNA and RNA viruses of plants

O Voinnet, YM Pinto… - Proceedings of the …, 1999 - National Acad Sciences
In transgenic and nontransgenic plants, viruses are both initiators and targets of a defense
mechanism that is similar to posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS). Recently, it was found …

Criteria for annotation of plant MicroRNAs

…, RS Poethig, Y Qi, H Vaucheret, O Voinnet… - The Plant …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21 nucleotide noncoding RNAs produced by Dicer-catalyzed
excision from stem-loop precursors. Many plant miRNAs play critical roles in development, …
