Host-Induced Gene Silencing of Fungal-Specific Genes of Ustilaginoidea virens Confers Effective Resistance to Rice False Smut [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Rice false smut (RFS) caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is one of the most important diseases in the majority of rice-growing areas worldwide. Rice false smut causes not only yield loss, but also threatens human or animal health by producing cyclopeptide mycotoxins.

Natural Host-Induced Gene Silencing Offers New Opportunities to Engineer Disease Resistance
Trends in Microbiology, 2020 RNA silencing is an essential gene-regulation mechanism in eukaryotic organisms. Guided by small RNAs (sRNAs) of 20-25 nt in length, RNA silencing broadly governs a wide range of biological processes. In addition to regulating endogenous gene expression and inhibiting viral infection, accumulating evidence suggests that sRNAs can also function as ...

Host-induced gene silencing and spray-induced gene silencing for crop protection against viruses.
2021Since the beginning of agriculture, plant virus diseases have been a strong challenge for farming. Following its discovery at the very beginning of the '90s, the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism has been widely studied and exploited as an integrative tool to obtain resistance to viruses in several plant species, with high target-sequence specificity ...

Host-Induced Gene Silencing: Approaches in Plant Disease Management
2022Crops exposed to the damage of various biotic and abiotic sources result in reduced yields and cause economic losses. There are prominent strategies such as breeding for improved resistance, the application of pesticides, and cultural practices that are available to mitigate damage resulting from abiotic/biotic sources.

Host-Induced Gene Silencing (HIGS) for Elucidating Puccinia Gene Function in Wheat
2018Biotrophic fungi (Puccinia spp.) cause devastating diseases of wheat and other cereal species globally. The function of large repertories of genes from Puccinia spp. still needs to be discovered to understand the infection process of these obligate parasites, eventually to protect plants from rust diseases.

Plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes cause severe losses of crop yield worldwide. Fungicides are widely applied to manage plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi, but fungicide-resistant fungal populations have been increasingly reported. Recent techniques using RNA interference (RNAi), which define the ability of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to ...
