Verbatim
e0“Using the agronomically important barley-Fusarium graminearum pathosystem, we alternatively demonstrate that a spray application of a long noncoding dsRNA (791 nt CYP3-dsRNA), which targets the three fungal cytochrome P450 lanosterol C-14α-demethylases, required for biosynthesis of fungal ergosterol, inhibits fungal growth in the directly sprayed (local) as well as the non-sprayed (distal) parts of detached leaves.”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect CYP3-dsRNA spray inhibited fungal growth in distal nonsprayed barley leaf tissue.
- Mechanism Distal fungal control involved movement of CYP3-dsRNA through the barley vascular system.
- Mechanism Fungal FgDCL-1 processed CYP3-dsRNA into siRNAs after pathogen uptake.
- Recommendation The authors propose target-specific dsRNA as a plant protection strategy.
