Abstract Background PTGS post-transcriptional gene silencing is used to counter pathogenic invasions particularly viruses. In return many plant viruses produce proteins which suppress silencing directed against their RNA. The diversity of silencing suppression at the species level in natural hosts is unknown. Results We investigated the functional diversity of silencing suppression among isolates of the African RYMV Rice yellow mottle virus in rice. The RYMV-P1 protein is responsible for cell-to-cell movement and is a silencing suppressor. Transgenic gus-silencing rice lines were used to investigate intra-specific and serogroup silencing suppression diversity at two different levels that of the virion and the P1 silencing suppressor protein. Our data provide evidence that silencing suppression is a universal phenomenon for RYMV .
