Asian Citrus Psyllid RNAi Pathway – RNAi evidence
Diaphorina citri, known as the Asian citrus psyllid, is an important pest of citrus because it transmits a phloem-limited bacteria strongly implicated in huanglongbing (citrus greening disease). Emerging biotechnologies, such as RNA interference, could provide a new sustainable and environmentally friendly strategy for the management of this pest. In this study, genome and functional analysis w...
متن کاملAn endogenous, systemic RNAi pathway in plants.
Recent work on metazoans has uncovered the existence of an endogenous RNA-silencing pathway that functionally recapitulates the effects of experimental RNA interference (RNAi) used for gene knockdown in organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila. The endogenous short interfering (si)RNA involved in this pathway are processed by Dicer-like nucleases from genomic loci re-arranged to ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Origin and Diversification of RNAi Pathway Genes in Insects
RNA interference (RNAi) refers to the set of molecular processes found in eukaryotic organisms in which small RNA molecules mediate the silencing or down-regulation of target genes. In insects, RNAi serves a number of functions, including regulation of endogenous genes, anti-viral defense, and defense against transposable elements. Despite being well studied in model organisms, such as Drosophi...
متن کاملThe RNAi pathway initiated by Dicer-2 in Drosophila.
Injection or expression of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in Drosophila serves as a trigger that causes cells to specifically cleave homologous mRNA transcripts. Our approach is to identify essential components of the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism by isolating and characterizing mutations that cause the RNAi response to be abnormal. These studies have thus far led to the identification of seve...
متن کاملRNAi pathway is functional in peripheral nerve axons.
Recent observations demonstrated that translation of mRNAs may occur in axonal processes at sites that are long distances away from the neuronal perikaria. While axonal protein synthesis has been documented in several studies, the mechanism of its regulation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether RNA interference (RNAi) may be one of the pathways that control local pr...
