Zea mays      siRNA body


※ siRNA body introduction

    siRNA bodies are RNA granules associated with the synthesis of tasiRNA and the amplification of the RNA silencing signal. Many plant viruses interfere with siRNA body functions in order to suppress their contribution to siRNA production (1). Upon stress-induced translational repression, siRNA bodies become positive for stress-granules markers, suggesting that these bodies may accumulate stalled mRNAs (2).
