BcMFSR Is Required for Efficient Uptake of Exogenous dsRNA and Spray-Induced Gene Silencing in Botrytis cinerea. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) uses exogenous dsRNA to silence pathogen genes and control grey mould disease. We identify BcMFSR, an MFS protein required for dsRNA uptake and SIGS efficacy in Botrytis cinerea. Loss of BcMFSR abolishes dsRNA internalization and disease suppression, revealing a novel role for MFS proteins.

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Spray-induced gene silencing as a potential tool to control rubber tree powdery mildew disease [PDF]

, 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.

Systemic spreading of exogenous applied RNA biopesticides in the crop plant Hordeum vulgare [PDF]

ExRNA, 2020
Background: Small (s) RNA molecules are crucial factors in the communication between hosts and their interacting pathogens/pests that can modulate both host defense and microbial virulence/pathogenicity known as cross-kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi ...

Small RNA-based plant protection against diseases

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plant diseases cause significant decreases in yield and quality of crops and consequently pose a very substantial threat to food security. In the continuous search for environmentally friendly crop protection, exploitation of RNA interferance machinery ...

Integrated soil-microbe-plant regulation for maize disease control in the black soil of Northeast China. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract The black soil region of Northeast China is a critical area for maize production in China. However, the long‐term continuous cropping, coupled with residue‐driven pathogen carryover, soil organic matter depletion, nutrient imbalance, and climate variability, has increased maize vulnerability to diseases.

RNA-Interference-Mediated Aphid Control in Crop Plants: A Review

Agriculture, 2022
Crop plants suffer severe yield losses due to the significant damages caused by aphids. RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a versatile and environmentally friendly method for pest management in crop protection. Transgenic plants expressing siRNA/dsRNA

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system-related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

Reduction of Rhizoctonia cerealis Infection on Wheat Through Host- and Spray-Induced Gene Silencing of an Orphan Secreted Gene

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Rhizoctonia cerealis is a soilborne fungus that can cause sharp eyespot in wheat, resulting in massive yield losses found in many countries. Due to the lack of resistant cultivars, fungicides have been widely used to control this pathogen.

Spray-Induced Gene Silencing to Study Gene Function in Phytophthora

, 2022
RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved cellular defense mechanism mediated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that can regulate gene expression through targeted destruction of mRNAs (messenger RNAs).
