From knowledge to action: the importance of characterizing herbicide resistance mechanisms for implementing management strategies

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This review bridges the gap between understanding resistance mechanisms and applying them in weed management, highlighting how mechanistic insights reveal vulnerabilities that can guide more effective control strategies. Abstract Herbicide resistance remains one of the most intensively studied areas in weed science because of its direct consequences ...

Knocking down wheat meiotic genes through Virus-induced gene-silencing (VIGS)

open access: yes, 2019
Virus-induced gene-silencing (VIGS) is a reverse genetic technology that can be used to assess gene function in model and crop species. The technique exploits a natural viral defence response in plants, whereby invading viral RNAs are detected, and this ...

Host‐induced silencing of the Minc09294 effector gene impairs Meloidogyne incognita and M. Enterolobii infection

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host‐induced gene silencing of the effector candidate Minc09294 significantly impairs Meloidogyne incognita parasitism, markedly reducing gall formation, reproduction, and the development of specialized giant cells, with partial cross‐species effects on M.

Oral RNAi reduces survival and grain loss in Rhyzopertha dominica, including phosphine‐resistant populations

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Oral delivery of dsRNA targeting essential genes reduces adult survival and grain damage in Rhyzopertha dominica, including highly phosphine‐resistant populations. These findings support RNAi as a complementary mode‐of‐action for resistance management and postharvest protection in stored‐grain systems. Abstract BACKGROUND Phosphine fumigation remains a

Protein Corona Engineering of Lipid Nanoparticles Enables Efficient Functional Gene Silencing in the Liver

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
By shaping the protein corona, lipid composition directs LNP tropism and enables the preferential delivery of a TIMP1‐targeting siRNA to liver macrophages. In a murine model of primary biliary cholangitis, this strategy promoted macrophage reprogramming and attenuated liver fibrosis.

Transcriptional gene silencing mutants in "Arabidopsis thaliana" and their impact on nuclear architecture and heterochromatin organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The epigenetic regulation of gene expression is defined by covalent modifications of DNA and histone tails as well as by chromatin structure and nuclear architecture.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling regulates fluid excretion and uric acid metabolism in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling via its receptor has integral roles in mosquito physiology, mediating fluid excretion, stimulating hindgut contractions, and in modulating uric acid levels. Together, these results uncover previously unrecognized roles of prostaglandin signaling in osmotic balance and metabolic homeostasis in mosquitoes.
