Higher eukaryotes have developed a mechanism of sequence‐specific RNA degradation
which is known as RNA silencing. In plants and some animals, similar to the nematode …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is one of the most commonly used genetic
transformation method that involves transfer of foreign genes into target plants …

The ubiquitination proteasome pathway has been demonstrated to regulate all plant
developmental and signaling processes. E3 ligase/substrate‐specific interactions and …

In this report, we describe a method for the delivery of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) into
plant cells. In vitro synthesized siRNAs that were designed to target the coding region of a …

Intron‐containing constructs encoding self‐complementary 'hairpin'RNA (ihpRNA) have the
potential to efficiently silence genes in a range of plant species. In this study we demonstrate …

Transgenes have become essential to modern biology, being an important tool in functional
genomic studies and also in the development of biotechnological products. One of the major …

Potato is the third most important food crop worldwide. However, genetic and genomic
research of potato has lagged behind other major crops due to the autopolyploidy and …

Recent investigations show that exogenously applied small interfering RNAs (siRNA) and
long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) precursors can be taken up and translocated in plants …

Plant pathogens and other biological pests represent significant obstacles to crop Protection
worldwide. Even though there are many effective conventional methods for controlling plant …

Silencing of introduced transgenes constitutes a major bottleneck in the production of
transgenic crops. Commonly, these transgenes contain no introns, a feature shared with …
