Scientists have made significant progress in understanding and unraveling several aspects
of double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐mediated gene silencing during the last two decades …

The fungal kingdom comprises some of the most devastating plant pathogens. Sequencing
the genomes of fungal pathogens has shown a remarkable variability in genome size and …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogenic fungus that infects hundreds of plant species,
including many of the world's most important crops. Key features of S. sclerotiorum include …

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a regulatory mechanism
conserved in almost all eukaryotes. sRNAs play a critical role in host pathogen interactions …

Small RNA s (sRNA s), an important type of pathogenicity factor, contribute to impairing host
immune responses. However, little is known about sRNA s in Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in the biology of various organisms,
including fungi, in which they are required for the trafficking of molecules across the cell wall …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Fungal pathogens represent a major group of plant invaders that are the causative agents of
many notorious plant diseases. Large quantities of RNAs, especially small RNAs involved in …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved eukaryotic gene regulatory mechanism that uses
small noncoding RNAs to mediate posttranscriptional/transcriptional gene silencing. The …

A never-ending arms race drives coevolution between pathogens and hosts. In plants,
pathogen attacks invoke multiple layers of host immune responses. Many pathogens deliver …
