In this article the authors cite Deleris, A. et al. Hierarchical action and inhibition of plant Dicer-like proteins in antiviral defense. Science 313, 68–71 (2006) (reference number 7).

This article represents one of the articles that supposed to be retracted (see quote from the report below):

From the investigation report: "Although it is obviously the journal's prerogative, the former (category 2) papers, particularly those containing well documented intentional manipulations (PLoS Pathogens 2013 9:e1003435; Plant Cell 2004 16: 1235; Science 2006 313: 68; PNAS 2006 103: 19593 and EMBO J 2010 29: 1699), should be retracted through OV's requests as being non-factual, irrespectively of whether the reported observations have been reproduced by others."

I find it problematic that Nature Plants accepts this kind of practice, by apparently legitimating well documented intentional manipulations as facts.
