Plants have substantially invested in RNA silencing as the central defense mechanism to combat nucleotide 'invaders' such as viruses, trasposable elements and transgenes. The quantity and quality of light perceived by a plant is a constant environmental stimulus refining cell homeostasis and RNA silencing mechanism seems not to be an exception In our recent paper in BMC Plant Biology we documented that light intensity, in physiological ranges, positively affects silencing initiation and spread. ...[more]
