Spray-induced gene silencing as a potential tool to control potato late blight disease

2021-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Phytophthora infestans causes late blight disease on potato and tomato and is currently controlled by resistant cultivars or intensive fungicide spraying. Here, we investigated an alternative means for late blight control by spraying potato leaves with double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) that target P. infestans genes that are essential for infection. Through confocal microscopy, we show that the sporangia of P. infest...
