Key Enzymes and Proteins of Crop Insects as Candidate for RNAi Based Gene Silencing
RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism of homology dependent gene silencing present in plants and animals. It operates through 21-24 nucleotides small RNAs which are processed through a set of core enzymatic machinery that involves Dicer and Argonaute proteins. In recent past, the technology has bee...
