Effects of Nanoparticles on Double-Stranded RNA Stability in Corn Soil [PDF]
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can potentially be used as a pesticide because these molecules trigger an immune response called RNA interference (RNAi). If the expression of essential genes matching the dsRNA sequence are silenced, then the pest dies.
