The intricate dynamics of RNA biology in plant interactions with biotic factors, including both microbes and insects, have a major impact on plant health and productivity. Understanding the molecular ...
The research team in their 2020 paper found that when the model plants lack a specific RNA degradation pathway and do not have DCL4, one of the four Dicer-like (DCL) proteins, there are severe growth ...
ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...
RNAi plays a critical role in maintaining genome integrity in most multicellular organisms—but not in dust mites, a new study shows. What does this tell us about parasite evolution? Dust mites ...
In the first published real use of high-throughput RNAi screening in a laboratory setting, a group of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, has identified novel negative and ...
CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS) announced today the publication of two papers in the journal Cell demonstrating that single-stranded short ...
Genes that play a key role in the formation of an infectious organ used by parasitic plants have been identified by plant scientists at RIKEN. This discovery fills a gap in our understanding of how ...
Two teams of researchers have modified plants to produce genetic material that disables critical genes in insects that eat the plants. The technique could provide a new strategy for agricultural-pest ...
Cambridge, MA, January 29, 2002 – The biotechnology company Genetica, Inc has developed a powerful, high throughput tool for target validation in the drug discovery process based on research carried ...
