DCL3 (Dicer-like 3) is a plant gene that encodes a ribonuclease III enzyme involved in the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, a plant-specific mechanism of transcriptional gene silencing. DCL3 processes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) precursors into 24-nucleotide small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that guide epigenetic modification of target genomic…
