In many species, introduction of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces potent and specific gene silencing, a phenomenon called RNA interference or RNAi. The apparently widespread nature of RNAi in ...

The interfering RNA molecules bind to targeted rootworm genes ... the specific rootworm gene that guides larvae toward corn plant roots, which the larvae then attack. Adding genetic techniques ...

The blueprint for new proteins lies in a plant's genetic material, or more precisely in its genes. "The information is ...

Plant breeders, aiming to develop resilient and high-quality crops, often cross plants from different species to transfer ...
