A schematic representation of CRISPR/Cas13-mediated RNA virus interference in plants. The diagram illustrates the mechanism of molecular immunity against RNA viruses in A. thaliana plants expressing CRISPR/Cas13a. When plants are infected with virus, Cas13 guided by virus-targeting crRNA recognizes and degrades the RNA virus genome, providing immunity against the virus.
