Efficiency of RNAi‐based gene silencing in fungi: a meta‐analysis
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Mechanistic interpretation of RNAi efficiency across fungal lifestyles and delivery strategies based on the present meta‐analysis. Summary RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential to protect crops against fungal diseases, yet reported protection efficiencies vary greatly, and our understanding of the factors responsible for this variance remains ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract 5‐Methylcytidine (m5C) modifications play a critical role in RNA metabolism. TRM4B (tRNA‐specific methytransferase 4B) is the only known component of the plant m5C machinery that mediates mRNA (messenger RNA) methylation. To date, no regulators governing site‐specific m5C modifications have been identified, apart from several degenerated ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 7997-8013, November 2026.ABSTRACT Isoprene is the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by terrestrial vegetation. Here we report the impact of isoprene on root‐associated microbiomes. Using isoprene‐emitting (IE) transgenic tobacco and isogenic non‐emitting (NE) controls, we performed co‐cultivation experiments in natural soil and analysed plant phenotypes ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 526-540, October 2026.Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Design of RNAi reagents for invertebrate model organisms and human disease vectors [PDF]
, 2011 RNAi has become an important tool to silence gene expression in a variety of organisms, in particular when classical genetic methods are missing. However, application of this method in functional studies has raised new challenges in the design of RNAi ...

Cross-kingdom RNA interference in the Botrytis-plant interaction [PDF]
Cross-kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi) represents a novel and rapidly advancing frontier in the study of host–pathogen interactions. In previous studies, it was shown that the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) could deliver small RNAs (sRNAs)

Cross-kingdom RNA interference-mediated silencing of
Oil Crop ScienceSclerotinia stem rot, caused by the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum , inflicts substantial economic losses on rapeseed production. The lack of resistant germplasm has rendered disease management heavily reliant on chemical fungicides, and ...
