First Evidence of Bud Feeding-Induced RNAi in a Crop Pest via Exogenous Application of dsRNA

Insects, 2020
Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) is a potential strategy for agricultural pest management, whereby nucleotide sequence-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can be sprayed onto a crop; the desired effect being a consumption of dsRNA by the target pest,

Mycovirus-encoded suppressors of RNA silencing: Possible allies or enemies in the use of RNAi to control fungal disease in crops

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Plants, fungi, and many other eukaryotes have evolved an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that is key for regulating gene expression and the control of pathogens. RNAi inhibits gene expression, in a sequence-specific manner, by recognizing and deploying

Domain-Targeted RNAi of VeA Reveals Its Essential Role in the Fusarium oxysporum-Pseudostellaria heterophylla Interaction. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pseudostellariae VeA, containing a conserved Velvet domain and nuclear localization signal (NLS), regulates growth, conidiation and virulence. VeA silencing weakened pathogenicity, reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation and activated host defence, suggesting VeA is a key virulence regulator and potential target for SIGS ...

Examining spray-induced gene silencing for pollen beetle control

, 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 ...

MicroRNA-like RNA Functions Are Required for the Biosynthesis of Active Compounds in the Medicinal Fungus Sanghuangporus vaninii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
miRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) have been recognized as sequence-specific regulators of posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. However, the functions of hundreds of fungal milRNAs in the biosynthesis of metabolic components are ...

Design of Lipopeptides and dsRNA-Lipopeptide Complexes for Sprayable RNAi-Based Plant Protection. [PDF]

J Pept Sci
Lipopeptide surfactants self‐assemble into nanostructure carriers that complex, protect, and deliver dsRNA, establishing structure–function relationships for next‐generation RNAi‐based insect control. ABSTRACT Broad‐spectrum insecticides persist in the environment, affecting non‐target organisms and selecting for resistant pest populations. In contrast,

Spray-induced gene silencing: an innovative strategy for plant trait improvement and disease control [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2021
Modern plant breeding is still a time-consuming and costly process, even with the most advanced technologies such as gene editing. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop alternative means for plant trait manipulation and plant protection.

Factors influencing Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus-mediated gene silencing in wheat [PDF]

, 2010
Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that has been used primarily to target the virus genome in infected plants. However, if the virus genome carries inserts derived from the host plant, the system could be employed to target the mRNAs ...

Conserved and non-annotated proteins of Podosphaera xanthii: new target candidates for the control of powdery mildews by spray-induced gene silencing. [PDF]

, 2023
One of the most important limiting factors for cucurbit production worldwide is the powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera xanthii. Despite the efforts invested in plant breeding programs and chemical companies, effective control of this pathogen remains ...
