The Specificity of Transgene Suppression in Plants by Exogenous dsRNA [PDF]
The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) is widely used to develop new approaches for crop improvement and plant protection. Recent investigations show that it is possible to downregulate plant transgenes, as more prone sequences to silencing than ...

Multiple dsRNases Involved in Exogenous dsRNA Degradation of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda [PDF]
RNAi is regarded as a promising technology for pest control. However, not all insects are sensitive to RNAi. Studies have confirmed that insect dsRNases are one of key factors affecting RNAi efficiency.

Exogenous dsRNA made accessible to Dicer by two eukaryotic RNA-dependent RNA polymerases in Paramecium tetraurelia [PDF]
Discrimination of self from non-self RNA is a critical requirement for any cell to respond to infections and to maintain cellular integrity. We report novel functions for two RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRs) in Paramecium.

RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops. [PDF]
This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

BcMFSR Is Required for Efficient Uptake of Exogenous dsRNA and Spray-Induced Gene Silencing in Botrytis cinerea. [PDF]
Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) uses exogenous dsRNA to silence pathogen genes and control grey mould disease. We identify BcMFSR, an MFS protein required for dsRNA uptake and SIGS efficacy in Botrytis cinerea. Loss of BcMFSR abolishes dsRNA internalization and disease suppression, revealing a novel role for MFS proteins.
