Abstract Abstract: Existing in eukaryotes extensively, RNA silencing suppressed sequence-specific gene expression on post-transcriptional level. In recent years, fruitful results have been achieved in exploring the silencing mechanism and many related factors have been identified. RNA silencing was regarded as a defensive mechanism against destruction of important genes triggered by virus invasion and transposon moving in genomes. And RNA silencing became an important tool for functional genomics research.
