L'introduction d'ARN double-brin dans la cellule provoque la dégradation de l'ARN messager de séquence correspondante. Ce processus d'interférence par ARN (RNAi) est à la base de systèmes de régulation endogènes. Chez les plantes, il sert de mécanisme de défense contre les virus lors d'une infection. 5, record 3, French, - ARN%20double%20brin
