Date issued/created: Subject and Keywords: Abstract:RNA-dependent processes control gene expression at the post-transcriptionaland transcriptional levels in plants. There is a specific group of RNA moleculescalled small RNAs that play a significant role in the RNA degradation, methylationof genomes, inhibition of translation and, consequently, gene expression regulation. They consist of double - stranded small interfering RNAs and single--stranded microRNAs. SiRNAs and miRNAs’ functioning occurs when double--stranded RNAs of different origins appear in a cell. DsRNAs intermediate theprocess of gene silencing which has many implications for natural mechanismsof gene expression in plants and other eukaryotes. Furthermore, gene silencinginitially thought to have been an effect of introducing transgenes into plants,now seems to be a defence mechanism against viruses and transposable elements.
