Within BaMV infection, RNA-silencing suppressor (P28) upregulates the gene expression of NbAGO10, which competes with antivirally active NbAGO1 for binding BaMV vsiRNA. This study provides the evidence that virus hijacks AGO10-directed suppression of AGO1-mediated antiviral silencing to assist virus invasion, which represents a novel strategy to counteract antiviral RNA silencing.
