Study on RNAi-based herbicide for Mikania micrantha

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2021
The invasive plant Mikania micrantha Kunth (M. micrantha) from South America poses a significant threat to the stability and biodiversity of ecosystems. However, an effective and economical method to control M. micrantha is still lacking.

Efficiency of RNAi‐based gene silencing in fungi: a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Mechanistic interpretation of RNAi efficiency across fungal lifestyles and delivery strategies based on the present meta‐analysis. Summary RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential to protect crops against fungal diseases, yet reported protection efficiencies vary greatly, and our understanding of the factors responsible for this variance remains ...

Improving grape resilience to drought exploiting the CRISPR/Cas technology: functional characterization of the target gene through Spray Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS)

, 2023
Climate change has been significantly impacting the food chain production, resulting in decreased quality and yield. In this line, water is one of the major factors limiting the productivity of agricultural ecosystems. Due to the ongoing climate change, drought events are predicted to become mo frequent and severe.

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 11, Page 2821-2855, November 2026.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Cross-Kingdom RNA Transport Based on Extracellular Vesicles Provides Innovative Tools for Plant Protection

Plants
RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential in plant defense against pathogens through RNA-mediated sequence-specific gene silencing. Among RNAi-based plant protection strategies, spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) is considered a more promising ...

Spray-Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS): Nanocarrier-Mediated dsRNA Delivery Improves RNAi Efficiency in the Management of Lettuce Gray Mold Caused by Botrytis cinerea

Agronomy
The plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea causes significant losses in agricultural production and it is rather difficult to control due to its broad host range and environmental persistence. The management of gray mold disease is still mainly based on the use of chemicals, which could have harmful effects not only due to impacts on the environment ...

Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10615-10624, November 2026.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was

Cross-Kingdom Small RNAs among Animals, Plants and Microbes

Cells, 2019
Small RNAs (sRNAs), a class of regulatory non-coding RNAs around 20~30-nt long, including small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), are critical regulators of gene expression.

Potato virus X-induced gene silencing in leaves and tubers of potato [PDF]

, 2004
Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is increasingly used to generate transient loss-of-function assays and has potential as a powerful reverse-genetics tool in functional genomic programs as a more rapid alternative to stable transformation. A previously
