Deskripsi

New approaches to plant disease control are important for pathogens that are difficult to control by existing methods. Here, the authors report a potential strategy to combat plant viruses by cytosolic expressed protein-only RNase P and show its ability for in vitro cleavage of tRNA-like structures existing in many plant viruses.
