Different Genetic Sources Contribute to the Small RNA Population in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Gigaspora margarita

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
RNA interference (RNAi) is a key regulatory pathway of gene expression in almost all eukaryotes. This mechanism relies on short non-coding RNA molecules (sRNAs) to recognize in a sequence-specific manner DNA or RNA targets leading to transcriptional or ...

Mycovirus-encoded suppressors of RNA silencing: Possible allies or enemies in the use of RNAi to control fungal disease in crops

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Plants, fungi, and many other eukaryotes have evolved an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that is key for regulating gene expression and the control of pathogens. RNAi inhibits gene expression, in a sequence-specific manner, by recognizing and deploying

Cross-kingdom RNAi adds a new layer of communication to the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

, 2023
Abstract Cross-kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi) is a mechanism of interspecies communication where small RNAs (sRNAs) are transported from one organism to another, where they silence target genes in trans1-9. ckRNAi is well established in pathosystems1-9 and has also been observed in a small number of mutualistic interactions10,11.

Fungal Secondary Metabolites and Small RNAs Enhance Pathogenicity during Plant-Fungal Pathogen Interactions

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Fungal plant pathogens use proteinaceous effectors as well as newly identified secondary metabolites (SMs) and small non-coding RNA (sRNA) effectors to manipulate the host plant’s defense system via diverse plant cell compartments, distinct organelles ...

Silencing Dicer-Like Genes Reduces Virulence and sRNA Generation in Penicillium italicum, the Cause of Citrus Blue Mold

Cells, 2020
The Dicer protein is one of the most important components of RNAi machinery because it regulates the production of small RNAs (sRNAs) in eukaryotes. Here, Dicer1-like gene (Pit-DCL1) and Dicer2-like gene (Pit-DCL2) RNAi transformants were generated via ...

Small RNAs and extracellular vesicles:New mechanisms of cross-species communication and innovative tools for disease control [PDF]

, 2019
Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved regulatory mechanism for gene expression throughout the domain Eukarya. Recent studies have shown that sRNAs can move between a host and an interacting organism to induce gene silencing in ...

Integrated soil-microbe-plant regulation for maize disease control in the black soil of Northeast China. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract The black soil region of Northeast China is a critical area for maize production in China. However, the long‐term continuous cropping, coupled with residue‐driven pathogen carryover, soil organic matter depletion, nutrient imbalance, and climate variability, has increased maize vulnerability to diseases.

Plant extracellular vesicles: Trojan horses of cross‐kingdom warfare

FASEB BioAdvances, 2021
Plants communicate with their interacting microorganisms through the exchange of functional molecules. This communication is critical for plant immunity, for pathogen virulence, and for establishing and maintaining symbioses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)

Plant Exosome-like Nanovesicles and Their Role in the Innovative Delivery of RNA Therapeutics

Biomedicines, 2023
Exosomes are single membrane-bound spheres released from cells carrying complex cargoes, including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Exosomes transfer specific cargoes from donor to acceptor cells, playing important roles in cell-to-cell communication.
