Comparative analysis of RNA interference and pattern-triggered immunity induced by dsRNA reveals different efficiencies in the antiviral response to Potato virus X

Khouloud Necira, Lorenzo Contreras, Efstratios Kamargiakis, Mohamed Selim Kamoun, Tomás Canto, Francisco Tenllado

This study compares RNAi and PTI antiviral responses to dsRNA in Nicotiana benthamiana, finding that virus-specific dsRNA effectively blocks virus spread while nonspecific dsRNA only reduces local accumulation but fails to prevent systemic infection.
