RNAi as a Foliar Spray: Efficiency and Challenges to Field Applications [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool that is being increasingly utilized for crop protection against viruses, fungal pathogens, and insect pests. The non-transgenic approach of spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS), which relies on spray application of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to induce RNAi, has come to prominence due to its safety and ...
