Stem cells are essential for the development and organ regeneration of multicellular organisms, so their infection by pathogenic viruses must be prevented. Accordingly, mammalian stem highly resistant to viral due dedicated antiviral pathways including RNA interference (RNAi). In plants, a small group harbored within shoot apical meristem generate all postembryonic above-ground tissues, germline cells. Many do not proliferate in these cells, yet molecular bases this exclusion remain only...
ABSTRACT Stem cells are essential for the development and organ regeneration of multicellular organisms, so their infection by pathogenic viruses must be prevented. Accordingly, mammalian stem highly resistant to viral due dedicated antiviral pathways including RNA interference (RNAi) ( 1, 2 ). In plants, a small group harbored within shoot apical meristem (SAM) generates all postembryonic above-ground tissues, germline cells. Many do not proliferate in these cells, yet molecular bases this...
