RNA Silencing in Plants: Mechanisms, Technologies and Applications in Horticultural Crops
Understanding the fundamental nature of a molecular process or a biological pathway is often a catalyst for the development of new technologies in biology. Indeed, studies from late 1990s to early 2000s have uncovered multiple overlapping but functionally distinct RNA silencing pathways in plants, including the posttranscriptional microRNA and small interfering RNA pathways and the transcriptio...
متن کاملMechanisms, applications, and perspectives of antiviral RNA silencing in plants.
Viral diseases of plants cause important economic losses due to reduction in crop quality and quantity to the point of threatening food security in some countries. Given the reduced availability of natural sources, genetic resistance to viruses has been successfully engineered for some plant-virus combinations. A sound understanding of the basic mechanisms governing plant-virus interactions, in...
متن کاملRNA silencing in fungi: mechanisms and applications.
Two RNA silencing-related phenomena, quelling and meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD) have been identified in the fungus Neurospora crassa. Similar to the case with the siRNA and miRNA pathways in Drosophila, different sets of protein components including RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, argonaute and dicer, are used in the quelling and MSUD pathways. Orthologs of the RNA silencing components...
متن کاملPrecision Agriculture Applications In Horticultural Crops In Greece and Worldwide
Precision agriculture is the management of spatial and temporal variability of the fields using ICT. The application in horticultural crops was developed in the last ten years. Data are collected from different sources (yield and quality, soil properties, remote sensing), stored to GIS data bases, analysed using geostatistical methods to develop management zones and decision support systems are...
متن کاملSomaclonal variations and their applications in horticultural crops improvement
The advancements made in tissue culture techniques has made it possible to regenerate various horticultural species in vitro as micropropagation protocols for commercial scale multiplication are available for a wide range of crops. Clonal propagation and preservation of elite genotypes, selected for their superior characteristics, require high degree of genetic uniformity amongst the regenerate...
