Host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) refers to the silencing of genes in pathogens and pests
by expressing homologous double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) or artificial microRNAs …

Gene expression can be modulated in plants to produce desired traits through agricultural
biotechnology. Currently, biotechnology-derived crops are compared to their conventional …

Background The ability to manipulate the genetic networks underlying the physiological and
behavioural repertoires of the adult honeybee worker (Apis mellifera) is likely to deepen our …

Plant virus‐based vectors carrying sequences homologous to endogenous genes trigger
silencing through a homology‐dependent RNA degradation mechanism. This phenomenon …

The interaction between sedentary endoparasitic nematodes and plants is fascinating,
because these animals have developed an ingenious way to manipulate the plant's gene …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a potent trigger for specific gene silencing of expression in a
number of organisms and is an efficient way of shutting down gene expression. 1 …

Gene silencing, triggered by double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA), has proved to be a valuable
tool for determining and confirming the function of genes in many organisms. For …

The efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) delivery to L1 through L3 stage worms of the
sheep parasitic nematode Trichostrongylus colubriformis was investigated using several …

When a cell is exposed to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), mRNA from the homologous
gene is selectively degraded by a process called RNA interference (RNAi). Here, we provide …

A number of gene-silencing phenomena including co-suppression discovered in plants,
quelling in fungi and RNA interference in animals have been revealed to have steps in …
