Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4393-4414, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Meloidogyne incognita control in cotton mediated host-induced gene silencing.

, 2023
In the present work we used a Host-Induced Gene Silencing (HIGS) strategy employing RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms in order to silence RKN essential genes involved in development (cathepsin L cysteine proteinase - MiCPL), metabolism (isocitrate lyase

The Transcription Factor FgSge1 Harnesses the SAGA Complex to Activate Mycotoxin Biosynthesis and Fungal Virulence

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
This study reveals the molecular mechanism by which the transcription factor FgSge1 regulates mycotoxin biosynthesis and virulence in Fusarium graminearum. FgSge1 binds to the TAARGTTT cis‐element, enabling self‐activation. It recruits the SAGA complex, promotes histone acetylation, and facilitates jet‐like chromatin remodeling, thereby activating ...

Analysis of small RNA silencing in Zymoseptoria tritici – wheat interactions [PDF]

, 2018
Cross-kingdom small RNA (sRNA) silencing has recently emerged as a mechanism facilitating fungal colonization and disease development. Here we characterized RNAi pathways in Zymoseptoria tritici, a major fungal pathogen of wheat, and assessed their ...

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 gene silencing of the Verticillium dahliae thiamine transporter protein gene (VdThit) confers resistance to Verticillium wilt in cotton

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Verticillium wilt (VW), induced by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae (Vd), poses a substantial threat to a diverse array of plant species. Employing molecular breeding technology for the development of cotton varieties with heightened resistance
