abstract：:Since the discovery of RNAi, its mechanism in plants and animals has been intensively studied, widely exploited as a research tool, and used for a number of potential commercial applications. In this article, we discuss the platforms for delivering RNAi in plants. We provide a brief background to these platforms and c...

abstract：:Lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTbetaR) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily that activates nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) through the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex, the core of which is comprised of IKK1, IKK2 and NF-kappaB essential modulator (NEMO). We demonstrate here that the LTbetaR...
