RNA silencing is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that regulates variety of cellular processes in plants. Argonaute protein (AGO), Dicer-like protein (DCL) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDR) are critical components of RNA silencing. These efficient and indispensable components of the RNAi pathway have not been identified and characterized in pepper. In this study, we identified 12 <i>CaAGO</i>, 4 <i>CaDCL</i> and 6 <i>CaRDR</i> genes in pepper and compared them with those of Arabidopsis ...[more]
