The global agricultural direct yield loss is estimated up to 40% and minimizing such loss is
therefore crucial for future sustainability of global crop production. The discovery of RNA …

Viruses are obligate parasites which cause a range of severe plant diseases that affect farm
productivity around the world, resulting in immense annual losses of yield. Therefore, control …

RNA silencing, also known as gene silencing, is a sequence-specific RNA degradation
mechanism that is highly conserved in eukaryotic organisms, including plants, animals …

Using exogenously introduced dsRNA molecules to induce RNA interference (RNAi) has
emerged as an effective tool to control crop pests. RNAi can be employed to suppress the …

RNA interference (RNAi) has rapidly progressed as one of the most important genetic tools
to understand gene function. Moreover, conservation of the RNAi machinery and pathway …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel technique in the field of functional genomics. It has an
immense potential for managing plant diseases by down regulating expression of …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a potent tool in silencing of genes with high specificity in both
invertebrates and vertebrates, thus, it has been widely applied to analyze gene function in …

To reduce the losses caused by plant pathogens, plant biologists have adopted numerous
methods to engineer resistant plants. Among them, RNA silencing-based resistance has …

RNA interference (RNAi)-based gene silencing has become one of the most successful
strategies in not only identifying gene function but also in improving agronomical traits of …
