Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a regulatory mechanism
conserved in almost all eukaryotes. sRNAs play a critical role in host pathogen interactions …

The exchange of small RNAs (sRNAs) between hosts and pathogens can lead to gene
silencing in the recipient organism, a mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNAi (ck-RNAi) …

Noncoding RNAs play essential functions during epigenetic regulation of gene expression
and development in numerous organisms. Three type of small noncoding RNAs found in …

Over the past years, RNA interference (RNAi) has been used as a promising combat
strategy against a wide range of pests and pathogens in ensuring global food security. It …

Small RNAs regulate a multitude of cellular processes, including development, stress
responses, metabolism, and maintenance of genome integrity, in a sequence-specific …

MicroRNAs play crucial roles in plant responses to pathogen infections. The rice blast
disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is the most important disease of rice …
