Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary is one of the main pathogens in the agricultural
sector. The most affected are the Solanaceae species, with the potato (Solanum tuberosum) …

Postharvest diseases caused by fungal pathogens are significant contributors to the
postharvest losses of fruits. Moreover, some fungal pathogens produce mycotoxins, which …

RNA silencing (or RNA interference, RNAi) is a conserved mechanism for regulating gene
expression in eukaryotes. The discovery of natural trans‐kingdom RNAi indicated that small …

Powdery mildew and rust fungi are major agricultural problems affecting many economically
important crops and causing significant yield losses. These fungi are obligate biotrophic …

Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) using topical dsRNA applications has risen as a
promising, target‐specific, and environmentally friendly disease management strategy …

Abstract Background In Indonesia, the postharvest fruit loss is 25%, so the economic loss
from the export of various fruits is estimated at US $58,966,861. One of the causes for the …

Contamination with a variety of filamentous fungi can cause deterioration of food and
agricultural products. Fungal contaminations reduce the quality and the shelf life of fresh …

The phenomenon and potential mechanisms of trans-kingdom RNA silencing (or RNA
interference, RNAi) are among the most exciting topics in science today. Based on trans …

Many applications of synthetic biology require biological systems in engineered microbes to
be delivered into diverse environments, such as for in situ bioremediation, biosensing, and …

Existing, emerging, and reemerging strains of phytopathogenic fungi pose a significant
threat to agricultural productivity globally. This risk is further exacerbated by the lack of …
