Topical Application of <i>Escherichia coli</i>-Encapsulated dsRNA Induces Resistance in <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> to Potato Viruses and Involves RDR6 and Combined Activities of DCL2 and DCL4

Topical Application of <i>Escherichia coli</i>-Encapsulated dsRNA Induces Resistance in <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> to Potato Viruses and Involves RDR6 and Combined Activities of DCL2 and DCL4

Exogenous application of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) for inducing virus resistance in plants represents an attractive alternative to transgene-based silencing approaches. However, improvement of dsRNA stability in natural conditions is required in order to provide long-term protection against the...
