Toxicity of pesticides to plants and non-target organism: A comprehensive review

Studies on Responses of Non-target Plants to Pesticides: a Review

Plant species that are unintentionally exposed to pesticides are treated as non-target plants Non-target plant effects are any direct or indirect effects that cause significant change in the survival, health or reproduction of non-target plant species or cause a change in plant community attributes. This review presents responses of several non-target plants to pesticide contamination. Non-targ...

Review on Non-target Organisms and Bt-plants

Biosafety research for non-target organism risk assessment of RNAi-based GE plants

RNA interference, or RNAi, refers to a set of biological processes that make use of conserved cellular machinery to silence genes. Although there are several variations in the source and mechanism, they are all triggered by double stranded RNA (dsRNA) which is processed by a protein complex into small, single stranded RNA, referred to as small interfering RNAs (siRNA) with complementarity to se...
