Spray-Induced Gene Silencing to Control Plant Pathogenic Fungi: A Step-by-Step Guide

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology
ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi)‐based control technologies are gaining popularity as potential alternatives to synthetic fungicides in the ongoing effort to manage plant pathogenic fungi. Among these methods, spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) emerges as particularly promising due to its convenience and feasibility for development ...

Identification of Essential Genes for the Establishment of Spray-Induced Gene Silencing-Based Disease Control in Fusarium graminearum

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2023
As resistance to chemical fungicides continues to increase inFusarium graminearum, there is a growing need to develop novel disease control strategies. To discover essential genes that could serve as new disease control targets, we selected essential gene candidates that had failed to be deleted in previous studies.

Innovative Strategies for Plant Protection: The Combination of Spray-Induced Gene Silencing and Nanotechnology

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Chemical pesticides have traditionally been a primary strategy for controlling plant diseases. With the mounting issues in disease control arising from the prolonged use of pesticides, the three ″R″ issues (resistance, residues, and resurgence) and the three ″risks″ (disability, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity) have become more prominent ...

Spray-induced gene silencing for improving chestnut tolerance to pathogens

Acta Horticulturae
Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is a tree species of great importance in Europe, where it is severely threatened by ink disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. Spray-Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), which employs double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to silence specific genes, is an eco-friendly approach used to improve plant tolerance ...

Spray-Induced Gene Silencing for Postharvest Protection: dsRNA Stability and Insecticidal Efficacy

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Sprayable double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) pesticides, based on RNA interference (RNAi), have shown promise in preharvest crop protection, yet their use for postharvest grain storage remains underexplored. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and stability of sprayable dsRNA in protecting stored rice grains from the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha ...

Advanced strategies to control plant pathogenic fungi by host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS)

Plant Biotechnology Reports, 2019
Plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes cause severe losses of crop yield worldwide. Fungicides are widely applied to manage plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi, but fungicide-resistant fungal populations have been increasingly reported. Recent techniques using RNA interference (RNAi), which define the ability of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to ...

SPRAY-INDUCED GENE SILENCING IDENTIFIES PATHOGEN PROCESSES CONTRIBUTING TO POWDERY MILDEW PROLIFERATION

2022
SUMMARY Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) is an emerging tool for crop pest protection. It utilizes exogenously applied double stranded RNA to specifically reduce pest target gene expression using endogenous RNA interference machinery.

Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) as a tool for the management of Pine Pitch Canker forest disease

Plant Disease
Abstract Global change is exacerbating the prevalence of plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi in forests worldwide. The conventional use of chemical fungicides, which is commonplace in agricultural settings, is not sanctioned for application in forest ecosystems, so novel control strategies are imperative.

Control of Fusarium graminearum Infection in Wheat by dsRNA-Based Spray-Induced Gene Silencing

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) has become a new technology for pest and disease control in plants. This study synthesized three double-strand RNAs (dsRNAs) targeting Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum), the major pathogen causing Fusarium head blight (FHB). Co-incubation showed weak uptake of dsRNA by F.

Spray-Induced Gene Silencing of SsAgo2 Confers Field Protection Against White Mold in Sunflower

Plant Disease
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of white mold, is a globally distributed fungal pathogen responsible for major yield losses in many crops. Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) has emerged as a promising alternative for disease control. Building on prior research, this study advanced SIGS by targeting S.
