Spray-induced gene silencing as a potential tool to control rubber tree powdery mildew disease [PDF]
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology, 2023 Powdery mildew of rubber tree, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Erysiphe quercicola, is a serious disease that occurs in all rubber tree growing regions. The disease is mainly controlled by fungicides.

The Bacteria-Derived dsRNA Was Used for Spray-Induced Gene Silencing for Rice False Smut Control. [PDF]
J Agric Food ChemFalse smut caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is one of the most destructive diseases in rice. The disease is primarily controlled with fungicides, leading to the development of fungicide resistance. Although spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) has been utilized for disease management, it has not been applied to control rice false smut.

Spray-Induced Gene Silencing as a Potential Tool to Control Potato Late Blight Disease [PDF]
Phytopathology®, 2021 Phytophthora infestans causes late blight disease on potato and tomato and is currently controlled by resistant cultivars or intensive fungicide spraying. Here, we investigated an alternative means for late blight control by spraying potato leaves with double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) that target the P. infestans genes essential for infection.

Spray‐induced gene silencing targeting a glutathione S‐transferase gene improves resilience to drought in grapevine [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2021 AbstractAlong with the ongoing climate change, drought events are predicted to become more severe. In this context, the spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) technique could represent a useful strategy to improve crop stress resilience. A previous study demonstrated that the Arabidopsis mutants for a glutathione S‐transferase (GST) gene had increased ...

Examining spray-induced gene silencing for pollen beetle control
Journal of Natural Pesticide Research, 2023 Pollen beetles are a transcontinental threat to oilseed rape cultivation. Conventional insecticide use has resulted in resistance development, and can furthermore lead to losses of non-target organisms, including those that contribute to natural biological control of pollen beetle populations.
