Selection and Validation of Reference Genes for RT-qPCR Analysis of the Ladybird Beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata
TL;DR: In this paper, the reference genes for Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata were selected and assessed for suitability under four experimental conditions, namely, developmental stage, tissue, temperature, and host plant, using RefFinder, which integrates four different analytical tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA-Spray-Mediated Silencing of Fusarium graminearum AGO and DCL Genes Improve Barley Disease Resistance.
TL;DR: SIGS is used to compare the silencing efficiencies of computationally-designed vs. manually-designed dsRNA constructs targeting ARGONAUTE and DICER genes of Fusarium graminearum and finds that targeting key components of the fungal RNAi machinery via SIGS could protect barley leaves from Fg infection and that the manual design of dsRNAs resulted in higher gene-silence efficiencies than the tool-based design.

Potent and specific genetic interference by double-stranded RNA in Caenorhabditis elegans
Andrew Fire,SiQun Xu,Mary K. Montgomery,Steven A. Kostas,Steven A. Kostas,Samuel E. Driver,Craig C. Mello +6 more
TL;DR: To their surprise, it was found that double-stranded RNA was substantially more effective at producing interference than was either strand individually, arguing against stochiometric interference with endogenous mRNA and suggesting that there could be a catalytic or amplification component in the interference process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origins and Mechanisms of miRNAs and siRNAs
TL;DR: This work has revealed unexpected diversity in their biogenesis pathways and the regulatory mechanisms that they access, which has direct implications for fundamental biology as well as disease etiology and treatment.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ingestion of double-stranded (ds)RNAs supplied in an artificial diet triggers RNA interference in several coleopteran species, most notably the western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifiera LeConte, suggesting that the RNAi pathway can be exploited to control insect pests via in planta expression of a dsRNA.

Silencing a cotton bollworm P450 monooxygenase gene by plant-mediated RNAi impairs larval tolerance of gossypol
Ying-Bo Mao,Wen-Juan Cai,Jiawei Wang,Gao-Jie Hong,Xiaoyuan Tao,Ling-Jian Wang,Yongping Huang,Xiao-Ya Chen +7 more
TL;DR: A cytochrome P450 gene (CYP6AE14) is identified from cotton bollworm, which permits this herbivore to tolerate otherwise inhibitory concentrations of the cotton metabolite, gossypol, and its expression correlates with larval growth when gOSSypol is included in the diet.

TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
