Small RNA-based plant protection against diseases

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plant diseases cause significant decreases in yield and quality of crops and consequently pose a very substantial threat to food security. In the continuous search for environmentally friendly crop protection, exploitation of RNA interferance machinery ...

Mycovirus-encoded suppressors of RNA silencing: Possible allies or enemies in the use of RNAi to control fungal disease in crops

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Plants, fungi, and many other eukaryotes have evolved an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that is key for regulating gene expression and the control of pathogens. RNAi inhibits gene expression, in a sequence-specific manner, by recognizing and deploying

Host-induced gene silencing of multiple pathogenic factors of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum confers resistance to Sclerotinia rot in Brassica napus

Crop Journal, 2022
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is generally considered one of the most economically damaging pathogens in oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Breeding for Sclerotinia resistance is challenging, as no immune germplasm available in B. napus.

Cross-Kingdom RNAi of Pathogen Effectors Leads to Quantitative Adult Plant Resistance in Wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process allowing plants to transfer small regulatory RNAs to invading pathogens to trigger the silencing of target virulence genes. Transient assays in cereal powdery mildews suggest that silencing of

RS_CRZ1, a C2H2-Type Transcription Factor Is Required for Pathogenesis of Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA in Tomato

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2021
Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes disease in diverse plant species. In recent years, the genomic and transcriptomic studies have identified several candidate pathogenicity determinants of R.

RNA-Interference-Mediated Aphid Control in Crop Plants: A Review

Agriculture, 2022
Crop plants suffer severe yield losses due to the significant damages caused by aphids. RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a versatile and environmentally friendly method for pest management in crop protection. Transgenic plants expressing siRNA/dsRNA

Reduction of Rhizoctonia cerealis Infection on Wheat Through Host- and Spray-Induced Gene Silencing of an Orphan Secreted Gene

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Rhizoctonia cerealis is a soilborne fungus that can cause sharp eyespot in wheat, resulting in massive yield losses found in many countries. Due to the lack of resistant cultivars, fungicides have been widely used to control this pathogen.

Puccinia triticina Effector Pt3863 Targets and Subverts TaRLCK176 to Suppress Wheat Resistance to Leaf Rust. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
TaRLCK176 is a critical immune hub that positively modulates wheat resistance to leaf rust and is specifically targeted by the Puccinia triticina effector Pt3863. Notably, Pt3863 has evolved a sophisticated virulence strategy to simultaneously disrupt both the phosphorylation‐mediated activation and proteasomal stability of TaRLCK176, thereby impairing
