Understanding RNA Interference in Crop Protection

RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular process that functions critically in gene regulation and plant immunity against disease, enabling plants to shut down genes associated with threats including viruses, fungi, and insects. First, cells take up double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and…

The Science of Plant Root Exudates and Soil Health

Plant root exudates are a remarkable aspect of plant physiology, essential for soil health and ecological balance. These exudates consist of a complex mix of organic compounds released by plant roots, influencing the rhizosphere—the soil zone directly surrounding the roots.…
