Plant Virus Research Studies

Plant Virus Research Studies is a research topic within Plant Science. Science Explorer counts 50k research works in it since 1950. 32.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the mechanisms of viral RNA silencing, gene silencing, and plant immunity in response to virus infections. It delves into topics such as small RNAs, recombination analysis, virus transmission, and the role of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases in antiviral defense. The cluster also investigates the use of virus-induced gene silencing as a tool for studying gene function in plants.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
