Since the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) in nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans 1998 by Fire and Mello et al., strides have been made exploiting RNAi for therapeutic applications more recently highly selective insect pest control. Although triggering mRNA degradation insects through offers significant opportunities crop protection, application environmental naked dsRNA is often ineffecti...

Crop plants suffer severe yield losses due to the significant damages caused by aphids. RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a versatile and environmentally friendly method for pest management in crop protection. Transgenic expressing siRNA/dsRNA non-transformative methods such as spraying, microinjection, feeding, nanocarrier-delivery-mediated RNAi approach have been successfully applied agri...

Abstract High fish predation pressure can trigger “induced defense” in Daphnia species, resulting phenotypic plasticity morphology, behavior, or life-history traits. The molecular mechanisms of defense morphogenesis (e.g., the tail spine and helmet) remain unclear. In present study, spine, helmet, body galeata under non-fish kairomones conditions were collected for transcriptome analysis. A tot...

messenger rnas may be targeted by short 19-27 nt rnas generally called small none-coding rnas (snrnas), the role of mirnas among other snrnas has been more studied and is well known. many researches show that all compartments of risc, proteins and mirnas take part in this wide range of regulatory impacts. ago protein homologs plus mirnas and target mrnas form a silencing complex in p-bodies whi...

Both the biotic and abiotic stressors restrict yield potential of many crops, including bananas. Bananas belong to genus Musa are world’s most popular widely produced fruit for their nutritional industrial importance. The demand bananas is growing each day worldwide. However, different pest infestations hampering production bananas, making it a matter concern global food security. Several biote...

RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism that protects cells of eukaryotic organisms from foreign genetic information and regulates physiological processes. Discovery RNAi development the methods for targeted suppression expression individual genes have opened up wide opportunities elucidating gene functions solving many problems in biology, medicine, plant protection. This approach ca...
