Application of RNA interference technology in pest control and its safety

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022
RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved gene-silencing phenomenon, induced by 20-30 nucleotide (nt) small molecules of non-coding RNA in vivo. Three non-coding RNAs, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and PIWI-interacting RNA ...

RNA Silencing in the Phytopathogenic Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Systematic analysis of RNA silencing was carried out in the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (formerly Magnaporthe grisea) using the enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP) gene as a model.

Determination of the role of DDX3 a factor involved in mammalian RNAi pathway using an shRNA-expression library. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
RNA interference (RNAi) is an endogenous RNA-destruction phenomenon induced by certain double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). In RNAi, dsRNAs are processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which in turn trigger the cleavage of the target mRNA.

Terminal bridging of siRNA duplex at the ribose 2′ position controls strand bias and target sequence preference

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2023
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) are widely used as RNA interference (RNAi) reagents. Recently, truncated shRNAs that trigger RNAi in a Dicer-independent manner have been developed.

Functional Analysis of RNA Interference-Related Soybean Pod Borer (Lepidoptera) Genes Based on Transcriptome Sequences

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
RNA interference (RNAi) is useful for controlling pests of agriculturally important crops. The soybean pod borer (SPB) is the most important soybean pest in Northeastern Asia.

Viral Vectors Applied for RNAi-Based Antiviral Therapy

open access: yesViruses, 2020
RNA interference (RNAi) provides the means for alternative antiviral therapy. Delivery of RNAi in the form of short interfering RNA (siRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA) have demonstrated efficacy in gene silencing for therapeutic ...

The origin of RNA interference: Adaptive or neutral evolution?

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
The origin of RNA interference (RNAi) is usually explained by a defense-based hypothesis, in which RNAi evolved as a defense against transposable elements (TEs) and RNA viruses and was already present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA ...

Induction of Promoter DNA Methylation Upon High-Pressure Spraying of Double-Stranded RNA in Plants

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Exogenous application of RNA molecules is a potent method to trigger RNA interference (RNAi) in plants in a transgene-free manner. So far, all exogenous RNAi (exo-RNAi) applications have aimed to trigger mRNA degradation of a given target.

Are Viral Vectors Any Good for RNAi Antiviral Therapy?

open access: yesViruses, 2020
RNA interference (RNAi) represents a novel approach for alternative antiviral therapy. However, issues related to RNA delivery and stability have presented serious obstacles for obtaining good therapeutic efficacy.

Deletion of Cytoplasmic Double-Stranded RNA Sensors Does Not Uncover Viral Small Interfering RNA Production in Human Cells

open access: yesmSphere, 2017
Antiviral immunity in insects and plants is mediated by the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway in which viral long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by Dicer enzymes.
