Small RNA-Seq of Bamboo mosaic virus infected leaves of importin alpha2 silenced Nicotiana benthamiana
Our aim is to examine the small RNAs accumulation in the Bamboo mosaic virus infected and importin alpha2 silenced Nicotiana benthamiana. The importin alpha2 of N. benthamiana was silenced by virus-induced-gene-silencing (VIGS) technology. The silenced leaves were infected with BaMV and sampled at 5 days after virus infection. The small RNAs were extracted from these inoculated leaves.
