Abstract
Summary Various plant viruses ubiquitously mediate the induction of mi R 168, resulting in the control of ARGONAUTE 1 ( AGO1 ), which is the pivotal component of the microRNA ( miRNA ) regulation pathway and can also exhibit antiviral function. Here, we demonstrate that mi R 168‐driven control of AGO1 can persist for a long time in virus‐infected plants and can be an important component of symptom development. We also show that infection of RNA viruses belonging to various genera is associated with the transcriptional induction of the MIR 168 precursor gene. Moreover, in a transient expression study, we reveal that different unrelated viral suppressors of RNA silencing ( VSRs ) are responsible for the enhanced accumulation of mi R 168. The induction of miR168 accumulation is an early function of VSRs and this activity is associated with the control of the endogenous AGO1 protein level. The common ability of unrelated VSRs to induce the miR168 level implies that this activity might be a component of the host defence suppression in plant–virus interactions.
