Biopesticides are natural, biologically occurring compounds that are used to control various
agricultural pests infesting plants in forests, gardens, farmlands, etc. There are different …

Diverse classes of RNA, ranging from small to long non-coding RNAs, have emerged as key
regulators of gene expression, genome stability and defence against foreign genetic …

RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a biological process in which non-coding RNA
molecules direct the addition of DNA methylation to specific DNA sequences. The RdDM …

Sustainable agriculture relies on practices and technologies that combine effectiveness with
a minimal environmental footprint. RNA interference (RNAi), a eukaryotic process in which …

RNA silencing is a homology-dependent gene inactivation mechanism that regulates a wide
range of biological processes including antiviral defense. To deal with host antiviral …

RNA silencing (RNAi) has a well-established role in anti-viral immunity in plants. The
destructive eukaryotic pathogen Phytophthora encodes suppressors of RNAi (PSRs), which …

Translation inhibition is a major but poorly understood mode of action of microRNAs
(miRNAs) in plants and animals. In particular, the subcellular location where this process …
