Since the publication of the Janeway's Pattern Recognition hypothesis in 1989, study of
pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and their immuno-stimulatory activities …

Plant pathogenic fungi are the largest group of disease-causing agents on crop plants and
represent a persistent and significant threat to agriculture worldwide. Conventional …

We highlight the recent 5 years of research that contributed to our understanding of the
mechanisms of RNA interference (RNAi) in insects. Since its first discovery, RNAi has …

Chitosan, as a promising gene nanocarrier for enhancing RNA interference (RNAi)
efficiency, displays tremendous application prospects in addressing dsRNA delivery …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method for silencing genes in various
organisms, and it is widely used in gene function and genetics research. RNAi has been …

Glucosinolates are antiherbivory chemical defense compounds in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis
thaliana). Specialist herbivores that feed on brassicaceous plants have evolved various …

RNA interference (RNAi) selectively targets genes and silences their expression in vivo,
causing developmental defects, mortality and altered behavior. Consequently, RNAi has …

Abstract BACKGROUND Recently, RNA interference (RNAi)‐based biopesticide, a species‐
specific pest control alternative, has been deregulated and commercialized in the US and …

Plant–pest interactions involve multifaceted processes encompassing a complex crosstalk of
pathways, molecules, and regulators aimed at overcoming defenses developed by each …

Environmental RNAi has been developed as a tool for reverse genetics studies and is an
emerging pest control strategy. The ability of environmental RNAi to efficiently down …
