Default Role of RNA Silencing in Plants

I want to know exatly How the process of RNA silencing is used by the
plants against the invading viruses? What all proteins and genes
regulate the activity of RNA silencing.

Does mutations in the gene sequences result in inhibition of the
activity and make the plant more suceptible to various kinds of plant
viruses?

How does the knowledge of RNA Silencing in plants help us in
develpoing new viral resistant varities ?
