Article Synopsis
- Artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) are short RNAs that specifically silence target genes, but their use in plants has been limited by the need for long precursor molecules.
- Researchers found that a shortened, 89-nucleotide version of a common precursor can effectively produce amiRNAs and induce gene silencing in plant models.
- This discovery allows for the use of minimal amiRNA precursors delivered via viral vectors, enabling gene silencing in plants without the need for traditional transgenic methods.
