TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a Dicer-like protein that functions in the antiviral silencing response in turnip-crinkle virus-infected plants but not in TMV or CMV-strain-Y-infected plants. Involved in the production of ta-siRNAs. Partially antagonizes the production of miRNAs by DCL1. Substitutes for DCL4 to produce viral siRNA when DCL4 is missing or inhibited. Able to produce siRNAs but not miRNAs. |
