Viral delivery of dsRNA for control of insect agricultural pests and vectors of human disease : prospects and challenges [PDF]
RNAi is applied as a new and safe method for pest control in agriculture but efficiency and specificity of delivery of dsRNA trigger remains a critical issue. Various agents have been proposed to augment dsRNA delivery, such as engineered micro-organisms

Tobacco Rattle Virus Coat Protein Targets Ferredoxin 1 for Degradation
TRV coat protein interacts with and destabilises chloroplast Fd1, impairing photosynthetic electron transport and compromising antiviral defence. ABSTRACT Plant virus infections commonly inhibit leaf photosynthesis, leading to characteristic symptoms such as chlorosis.

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors
RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.

In vivo transfer of barley stripe mosaic hordeivirus ribonucleotides to the 5' terminus of maize stripe tenuivirus RNAs [PDF]
The Tenuivirus maize stripe virus (MStV) shares many properties with viruses in the genus Phlebovirus of the family Bunyaviridae . Besides genome organization and gene expression strategies, one property shared by these plant- and vertebrate-infecting viruses is that ...
