Application of RNA interference technology in pest control and its safety
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
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]
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.

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.

Viral Vectors Applied for RNAi-Based Antiviral Therapy
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?
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
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?
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.

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.
