StarStarStarStar

Powdery mildew fungi

StarStarStarStar

Using RNAi, genes that facilitate the mildew's infection process can be silenced, offering a protective strategy for numerous crops.

StarStarStarStar

Western Corn Rootworm

StarStarStarStar

By expressing dsRNA targeting rootworm genes, the corn plants can control the pest population and reduce root damage.

StarStarStarStar

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi targets sequences in the TYLCV genome, preventing virus replication and protecting tomato plants from this disease.

StarStarStarStar

Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata)

StarStarStarStar

The RNAi mechanism targets specific genes in the pest responsible for its survival or reproduction, leading to its death or infertility.

StarStarStarStar

Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi mechanisms are explored to interfere with the borer's ability to feed on ash trees by targeting specific genes.

StarStarStarStar

Aphids

StarStarStarStar

RNAi can target genes that are essential for the aphid's survival, interfering with their growth and reproduction.

StarStarStarStar

Varroa mite (Varroa destructor)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi is used to target mite genes, potentially protecting honey bees and their hives from the destructive effects of mite infestations.

StarStarStarStar

Fruit flies (Drosophila spp.)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi technology directly affects genes crucial for fruit fly development and reproduction, providing a method to control these pests.

StarStarStarStar

Soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi)

StarStarStarStar

By silencing specific genes through RNAi, the lifecycle and spread of the rust can be hindered to protect soybean plants.

StarStarStarStar

Tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris)

StarStarStarStar

Gene silencing via RNAi can interfere with the life cycle of the plant bug, providing a method to reduce its impact on crops.

StarStarStarStar

Corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi technology is used to disrupt essential metabolic processes in the rootworm, ultimately protecting the corn crop from damage.

StarStarStarStar

Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi helps in silencing genes in the psyllid that are crucial for its survival, aiming to protect citrus crops from Huanglongbing disease.

StarStarStarStar

Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera)

StarStarStarStar

The RNAi disrupts vital processes such as molting or reproduction in cotton bollworm, thereby mitigating crop damage.

StarStarStarStar

Rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae)

StarStarStarStar

RNAi aims at genes responsible for the pathogenicity of the fungus, thus enhancing the rice plant's resistance.

StarStarStarStar

Stink bugs

StarStarStarStar

Utilizing RNAi to target genes related to stink bug feeding behavior and digestion can lessen the damage they cause to various crops.
