Exogenous dsRNA-Induced Silencing of the Phytophthora infestans Elicitin Genes inf1 and inf4 Suppresses Its Pathogenicity on Potato Plants. [PDF]
Phytophthora infestans, an Oomycete pathogen, has a devastating impact on potato agriculture, leading to the extensive use of chemical fungicides to prevent its outbreaks. Spraying double-stranded RNAs to suppress specific genes of the pathogen via the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway may provide an environmentally friendly alternative to chemicals ...

Identification and application of exogenous dsRNA confers plant protection against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea. [PDF]
AbstractSclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of white stem rot, is responsible for significant losses in crop yields around the globe. While our understanding of S. sclerotiorum infection is becoming clearer, genetic control of the pathogen has been elusive and effective control of pathogen colonization using traditional broad-spectrum agro ...

Application of Exogenous dsRNAs-induced RNAi in Agriculture: Challenges and Triumphs [PDF]
In recent years, RNA interference (RNAi) machinery has widely been explored by plant biologists for its potential applications in disease management, plant development, and germplasm improvement. RNAi-based technologies have mainly been applied in the form of transgenic plant generation and host-induced-gene-silencing (HIGS).

First Evidence of Feeding-Induced RNAi in Banana Weevil via Exogenous Application of dsRNA [PDF]
Banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is the most devastating pest of banana and plantain worldwide, yet current control measures are neither effective, sustainable, nor environmentally sound, and no resistant farmer-preferred cultivars are known to date.
