MicroRNA 160 controls the auxin response factor-class III peroxidase module and couples salicylic acid and redox signaling networks in the potato hypersensitive response to potato virus Y.

Hypersensitive response (HR) is an effector-triggered immune response leading to pathogen restriction and local cell death. Small RNAs (sRNAs), mediating RNA silencing, have a well-established role in antiviral immunity; however, their role in HR has not been addressed to date. We applied a spatially resolved sRNA-omic...
