Roles of RNA m⁶A modifications in plant-virus interactions

Abstract

Viral RNAs have been known to contain N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) modifications since the 1970s. The function of these modifications remained unknown until the development of genome-wide methods to map m⁶A residues. Increasing evidence has recently revealed a strong association between m⁶A modifications and plant viral infection. This highlight introduces advances in the roles of RNA m⁶A modifications in plant-virus interactions.
