Symptomatic, widespread, and inconspicuous: new detection of tomato fruit blotch virus

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2023
Tomato production is an important part of the Swiss vegetable production with most tomato crops grown in greenhouses. Tomato plants are vulnerable to diseases caused by viruses, which can have significant impacts on crop production.

Structural basis for Dicer-like function of an engineered RNase III variant and insights into the reaction trajectory of two-Mg2+-ion catalysis

open access: yesRNA Biology, 2022
The RNase III family of dsRNA-specific endonucleases is exemplified by prokaryotic RNase III and eukaryotic Rnt1p, Drosha, and Dicer. Structures of Aquifex aeolicus RNase III (AaRNase III) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rnt1p (ScRnt1p) show that both ...

Double-Stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) as a Sustainable Tool against Gray Mold (Botrytis cinerea) in Grapevine: Effectiveness of Different Application Methods in an Open-Air Environment

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Grapevine is one of the most important and globally widespread fruit species, with a high impact on the economy of many countries but with an intense environmental effect.

DNA versus RNA -- which shows higher electronic conduction? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In this study, we compare the charge transport properties of multiple (double stranded) dsRNA sequences with corresponding dsDNA sequences. Recent studies have presented a contradictory picture of relative charge transport efficiencies in A-form DNA:RNA hybrids and dsDNA. Using a multiscale modelling framework, we compute conductance of dsDNA and dsRNA

Environmental Fate and Dissipation of Applied dsRNA in Soil, Aquatic Systems, and Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Two primary use patterns exist for dsRNA-based products for crop protection: in planta produced dsRNA such as in a genetically engineered (GE) crop; and topically applied dsRNA such as a spray application.

An RNAi-Based Control of Fusarium graminearum Infections Through Spraying of Long dsRNAs Involves a Plant Passage and Is Controlled by the Fungal Silencing Machinery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Meeting the increasing food and energy demands of a growing population will require the development of ground-breaking strategies that promote sustainable plant production.

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

dsRNA Uptake in Plant Pests and Pathogens: Insights into RNAi-Based Insect and Fungal Control Technology

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Efforts to develop more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional broad-spectrum pesticides in agriculture have recently turned to RNA interference (RNAi) technology.

Activation of TLR3 in keratinocytes increases expression of genes involved in formation of the epidermis, lipid accumulation, and epidermal organelles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Injury to the skin, and the subsequent release of noncoding double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from necrotic keratinocytes, has been identified as an endogenous activator of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3).

Microinjection of dsRNA in Tardigrades [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2018
Classical genetic analysis in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris is a challenge because these animals are parthenogens. The publication of the H. exemplaris genome has facilitated the study of targeted genes by RNA interference (RNAi), a robust mechanism to disrupt gene function. This protocol describes microinjection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in
