Host-Induced Gene Silencing of <i>SmDSR32</i> Enhances Wheat Defense Against <i>Sitobion miscanthi</i>. [PDF]

Curr Issues Mol Biol
The grain aphid, Sitobion miscanthi, poses a serious threat to cereal crops worldwide, leading to considerable yield losses and demanding annual insecticide applications during the grain-filling stage. As a sustainable alternative, we explored host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) targeting an aphid-specific gene.

Host Induced Gene Silencing Targeting Aspergillus flavus aflM Reduced Aflatoxin Contamination in Transgenic Maize Under Field Conditions [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the major crops susceptible to Aspergillus flavus infection and subsequent contamination with aflatoxins, the most potent naturally produced carcinogenic secondary metabolites.

A Functional Genomics Method for Assaying Gene Function in Phytopathogenic Fungi Through Host-Induced Gene Silencing Mediated by Agroinfiltration

, 2015
With the rapid growth of genomic information, there is an increasing demand for efficient analysis tools to study the function of predicted genes coded in genomes. Agroinfiltration, the delivery of gene constructs into plant cells by Agrobacterium tumefaciens infiltrated into leaves, is one such versatile, simple, and rapid technique that is ...

Host‐induced gene silencing – mechanisms and applications [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2021
SummaryHost‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology has emerged as a powerful alternative to chemical treatments for protecting plants from pathogens or pests. More than 170 HIGS studies have been published so far, and HIGS products have been launched. First, we discuss the strengths and limitations of this technology in a pathosystem‐specific context.

Investigation of RNA-induced gene silencing in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

, 2007
PhDRNA interference (RNAi) is a gene regulating system to which can silence genes at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In this thesis, a ura4-based RNAi selective assay was developed in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe ...

Host-induced silencing ofFusarium culmorumgenes protects wheat from infection [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016
Plants producing antisense or double-stranded RNA molecules that target specific genes of eukaryotic pests or pathogens can become protected from their attack. This beneficial effect was also reported for plant-fungus interactions and is believed to reflect uptake of the RNAs by the fungus via an as yet unknown mechanism, followed by target gene ...

Factors influencing Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus-mediated gene silencing in wheat [PDF]

, 2010
Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that has been used primarily to target the virus genome in infected plants. However, if the virus genome carries inserts derived from the host plant, the system could be employed to target the mRNAs ...

Potato virus X-induced gene silencing in leaves and tubers of potato [PDF]

, 2004
Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is increasingly used to generate transient loss-of-function assays and has potential as a powerful reverse-genetics tool in functional genomic programs as a more rapid alternative to stable transformation. A previously
