In Arabidopsis, genetic evidence demonstrates that RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6) plays a fundamental role in at least four RNA silencing pathways whose functions range from defense against transgenes or viruses to endogene regulation in development and in stress responses. Despite its critical role in RNA silencing, the biochemical activities of RDR6 have yet to be characterized. In this study, we transiently expressed Arabidopsis RDR6 in Nicotiana benthamiana and investigated the bioche ...[more]
