Abstract

Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth and the major carriers of disease and mortality as well as the drivers of global processes. How plant viruses potentially influence global processes is an emergent issue, particularly for their putative implications in applications. Upon infection and spread, plant viruses are capable of reprogramming host gene expression via RNA silencing by releasing viral suppressors of RNA silencing, viral small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs), and by inducing the production of viral-associated small interfering RNAs (va-siRNAs).
