Silencing of gene reduces resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) in tomato ().

Double-stranded RNA-binding proteins are small molecules in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway that form the RNAi machinery together with the Dicer-like protein (DCL) as a cofactor. This machinery cuts double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to form multiple small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Our goal was to clarify the function of in tomato resistant to TYLCV.
