  • Title: Spray-Induced Gene Silencing: a Powerful Innovative Strategy for Crop Protection.
    Author: Wang M, Jin H.
    Journal: Trends Microbiol; 2017 Jan; 25(1):4-6. PubMed ID: 27923542.
    Abstract:
    Plant pathogens cause serious crop losses worldwide. Recent new studies demonstrate that spraying double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and small RNAs (sRNAs) that target essential pathogen genes on plant surfaces confer efficient crop protection. This so-called spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) strategy of disease control is potentially sustainable and environmentally friendly.
