Abstract excerpt
Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) uses exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to suppress pathogen virulence or growth-related genes, offering a promising strategy for controlling grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea at the gene level. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the efficient uptake of dsRNAs by B. cinerea, making significant progress towards addressing key gaps in our...
