  • Title: RNA Interference Past and Future Applications in Plants.
    Author: Koeppe S, Kawchuk L, Kalischuk M.
    Journal: Int J Mol Sci; 2023 Jun 05; 24(11):. PubMed ID: 37298705.
    Abstract:
    Antisense RNA was observed to elicit plant disease resistance and post-translational gene silencing (PTGS). The universal mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) was shown to be induced by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), an intermediate produced during virus replication. Plant viruses with a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome have been instrumental in the discovery and characterization of systemic RNA silencing and suppression. An increasing number of applications for RNA silencing have emerged involving the exogenous application of dsRNA through spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) that provides specificity and environmentally friendly options for crop protection and improvement.
