Pathogenic fungi cause major postharvest losses. During storage and ripening, fruit
becomes highly susceptible to fungi that cause postharvest disease. Fungicides are effective …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of white stem rot, is responsible for significant
losses in crop yields around the globe. While our understanding of S. sclerotiorum infection …

Major losses in postharvest fruit and vegetables are due to rotting caused by pathogenic
fungi. The environmental impact of fungicides requires new eco-friendly strategies to control …

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

Botrytis cinerea is one of the most critical agro-economic phytopathogens and has been
reported to cause gray mold disease in more than 1000 plant species. Meanwhile, small …

Aggressive fungal pathogens such as Botrytis and Verticillium spp. cause severe crop
losses worldwide. We recently discovered that Botrytis cinerea delivers small RNAs (Bc …

Recent evidence shows that small RNAs are transferred from a species to another through
cross-species transmission and exhibit biological activities in the receptor. In this study, we …

Grapevine is one of the most important and globally widespread fruit species, with a high
impact on the economy of many countries but with an intense environmental effect …

Botrytis cinerea can attack over 500 genera of vascular plants and is considered the second
phytopathogen in the 'top ten'for its economic importance. Traditional fungicides can be …
