Chloroplasts play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth. The availability of over 800
sequenced chloroplast genomes from a variety of land plants has enhanced our …

RNA interference (RNAi) targeting lethal genes in insects has great potential for sustainable
crop protection. Compared with traditional double‐stranded (ds) RNA delivery systems …

Plant-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential in crop protection. It relies on
plants stably expressing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that target essential genes in pest …

Free‐living cyanobacteria were entrapped by eukaryotic cells~ 2 billion years ago, ultimately
giving rise to chloroplasts. After a century of debate, the presence of chloroplast DNA was …

Plastid-mediated RNA interference (PM-RNAi) has emerged as a promising strategy for pest
control. Expression from the plastid genome of stable double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) …

The insect pests are big threat in meeting the food demands for future generation. The
present pest control strategies, including the existing transgenic approaches show certain …

Engineering the plastid genome based on homologous recombination is well developed in
a few model species. Homologous recombination is also the rule in mitochondria, but …

Genetic engineering of economically important traits in plants is an effective way to improve
global welfare. However, introducing foreign DNA molecules into plant genomes to create …

RNA interference is a phenomenon in which the introduction of double‐stranded RNA
(dsRNA) into cells triggers the degradation of the complementary messenger RNA in a …

The application of RNAi promotes the development of novel approaches toward plant
protection in a sustainable way. Genetically modified crops expressing dsRNA have been …
