RNAi-based pest control: Production, application and the fate of dsRNA
The limitations of conventional pesticides have raised the demand for innovative and sustainable solutions for plant protection. RNA Interference (RNAi) triggered by dsRNA has evolved as a promising strategy to control insects in a species-specific ...

Exogenous Application of dsRNA for the Control of Viruses in Cucurbits
The recurrent emergence of viral diseases in intensive horticultural crops requires alternative control strategies. The topical application of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules homologous to pathogens has been proposed as a tool for virus control in ...

Physiological Conditions and dsRNA Application Approaches for Exogenously induced RNA Interference in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Recent studies have revealed that foliar application of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) or small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) encoding specific genes of plant pathogens triggered RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of the gene targets.

Exogenous dsRNA Induces RNA Interference of a Chalcone Synthase Gene in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Recent investigations have shown the possibility of artificial induction of RNA interference (RNAi) via plant foliar treatments with naked double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to silence essential genes in plant fungal pathogens or to target viral RNAs. Furthermore, several studies have documented the downregulation of plant endogenous genes via external ...

Botrytis cinerea is a pathogen of wide agronomic and scientific importance partly due to its tendency to develop fungicide resistance. Recently, there has been great interest in the use of RNA interference as a control strategy against B. cinerea. In order to reduce the possible effects on non-target species, the sequence-dependent nature of RNAi can ...

Feeding exogenous dsRNA interferes with endogenous sRNA accumulation in Paramecium. [PDF]
AbstractSupply of exogenous dsRNA (exo-dsRNA), either by injection or by feeding, is a fast and powerful alternative to classical knockout studies. The biotechnical potential of feeding techniques is evident from the numerous studies focusing on oral administration of dsRNA to control pests and viral infection in crops/animal farming.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) provide a critical post-transcriptional regulatory layer in determining RNA fate. Currently, UV crosslinking followed by oligo-dT pull-down is the gold standard in identifying the RBP repertoire of poly-adenylated RNAs, but ...

Fusarium oxysporum is a widespread soil-borne fungal pathogen that can infect various plants, causing wilt and root rot diseases. The root rot disease of Atractylodes macrocephala caused by F. oxysporum is among the most serious diseases associated with continuous cropping, significantly hindering its sustainable development. In this study, we aimed to

Cellular uptake of extracellular dsRNA is tissue-dependent in insects [PDF]
Background RNA interference (RNAi), a naturally occurring gene silencing mechanism found in almost all eukaryotic organisms, has proven to be an adaptable and powerful tool in therapeutics, bioengineering, and agriculture. Differential responses to RNAi,
