The RNAi as a tool to control tropical pathogens

Introduction. Sustainable farming requires new tools for the control of pathogens, since there is a constant evolution to overcome current biological and chemical strategies. The information provided by transcriptomics allows creating possibilities tackle pathogens. It possible interrupt genetic expression pathogen disable it using RNA interference (RNAi). Objective. To perform an analysis emerging technology useful pest control, based on interference. Development. measured through social, economic, environmental indicators. A key indicator agriculture decrease in inputs pathogens increase their specificity. Pest mechanisms meet both parameters. RNAi known have at least two functions, first gene regulation, secondly as defense mechanism against Consequently, can be used protect crops from developing genetically modified plants, or external application form aerosol. aerosol tool that relies inactivating genes complement other agronomic available this purpose. design tropical pests published transcriptomes, although necessary limitations regarding design, degradation, stability. Conclusion. Interference methods potential alternative achieve sustainable farming.
