SUMMARY In plants, RNA silencing constitutes a strong defense against viral infection, which viruses counteract with RNA‐silencing suppressors (RSSs). Understanding the interactions between viral RSSs and host factors is crucial for elucidating the molecular arms race between viruses and host plants...
