Induction of Promoter DNA Methylation Upon High-Pressure Spraying of Double-Stranded RNA in Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exogenous application of RNA molecules is a potent method to trigger interference (RNAi) in plants transgene-free manner. So far, all exogenous RNAi (exo-RNAi) applications have aimed mRNA degradation given target. However, the issue concomitant epigenetic changes was never addressed. Here, we report for first time that high-pressure spraying dsRNAs can de novo methylation promoter sequences plants.

Molecular Effects of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet on the Double-Stranded DNA
Introduction The aim of this study was toinvestigate the sterilization potential of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) and interactions of this technology with double-stranded DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) techniques. Materials and Methods The plasma jet was produced through a high voltage sinusoidal power supplyusing a mixt...
متن کاملInduction of Silencing in Plants by High-Pressure Spraying of In vitro-Synthesized Small RNAs
In this report, we describe a method for the delivery of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) into plant cells. In vitro synthesized siRNAs that were designed to target the coding region of a GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN (GFP) transgene were applied by various methods onto GFP-expressing transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants to trigger RNA silencing. In contrast to mere siRNA applications, including ...
متن کاملInduction of RNA-directed DNA methylation upon decondensation of constitutive heterochromatin.
Centromeric constitutive heterochromatin is marked by DNA methylation and dimethylated histone H3 Lys 9 (H3K9me2) in Arabidopsis. RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a process that uses 24-nucleotide (nt) small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to induce de novo methylation to its homologous DNA sequences. Despite the presence of centromeric 24-nt siRNAs, mutations in genes required for RdDM do not ...
متن کاملDouble-stranded RNA under force and torque: similarities to and striking differences from double-stranded DNA.
RNA plays myriad roles in the transmission and regulation of genetic information that are fundamentally constrained by its mechanical properties, including the elasticity and conformational transitions of the double-stranded (dsRNA) form. Although double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) mechanics have been dissected with exquisite precision, much less is known about dsRNA. Here we present a comprehensive c...

background : trichomonas vaginalis is a pathogenic protozoon and may be contaminated with dsrna virus called trichomonas vaginalis virus (tvv). the viral infection is an important factor for its patho-genesis and sensitivity to metronidazole. the presence of tvv is associated with qualitative and quantitative expression of cysteine proteinases and surface immunogenic; p270. the purpose of this ...
