| Abstract |
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene is suppressed in Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with potato virus Y (PVY) or with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), but not in plants infected with potato virus X (PVX). By expressing PVY and CMV-encoded proteins in a PVX vector we have shown that the viral suppressors of gene silencing are the HCPro of PVY and the 2b protein of CMV. The HCPro acts by blocking the maintenance of PTGS in tissues where silencing had already been set, whereas the 2b protein prevents initiation of gene silencing at the growing points of the plants. Combined with previous findings that viruses are both activators and targets of PTGS, these data provide compelling evidence that PTGS represents a natural mechanism for plant protection against viruses. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 42. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2024.
All research outputs
#999,983
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from EMBO Journal
#322
of 12,332 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#338
of 35,046 outputs
Outputs of similar age from EMBO Journal
#1
of 98 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,332 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 35,046 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 98 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
