With a $50 million initial investment from Flagship, Terrana will use RNA from benign plant viruses as a chassis to carry ...

The nucleotide sequences of several animal, plant and bacterial genomes are now known, but the functions of many of the proteins that they are predicted to encode remain unclear. RNA interference ...

With Terrana Biosciences, Moderna founder Flagship can apply its RNA knowledge to agricultural use cases like pest and ...

Plant RNA viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, affecting a vast array of crop species and leading to ...

RNA on Plant Leaves May Shape Microbial Interactions. 2mo. Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the ...

In agriculture, scientists employ RNAi as a method to control plant pathogens, such as viruses and fungi, and ensure more sustainable crop production. 11 They are similarly developing species-specific ...

There are at least three RNA silencing pathways for silencing specific genes in plants. In these pathways, silencing signals can be amplified and transmitted between cells, and may even be self ...

Zamore is also concerned about the potential for cross-detection between plant and animal RNA sequences, given the short length of miRNA molecules, which average about 22 nucleotides, he said.

Recounting the Journey from Biological Oddity to a Commercialized Technology In the fall of 2006, the RNA world arrived on the big stage when it was announced that Andrew Z. Fire, Ph.D., Craig ...

RNA interference (RNAi) pesticides are poised poised to become an important tool in the world of pesticides. ... It is possible that RNAi may also be developed as a plant antiviral agent ...

Norgen's kit consistently isolated pure samples of Plant RNA with 260/230 ratios above 2.0, whereas the competitor's kit had 260/230 ratios below 1.2 for the same samples.
