Glad to share our new review on RNA-based new generation of fungicides: RNAs — a new frontier in crop protection. ⁦Thank all the lab members who were involved in the review ⁦Rachael P Hamby⁩ Jonatan Niño Sanchez sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Baoye He - thanks for a great talk on the fascinating observations of how Botrytis suppresses the plant with RNA loaded extracellular vesicles via clathrin mediated endocytosis. Nice work with many implications. #Fungal22 Hailing Jin

So true!!!

Botrytis small RNAs are associated with tomato AGO1 and silence tomato targets supporting cross-kingdom RNAi between the fungal pathogen B. cinerea and tomato host. A big Thank You to ⁦Jason Stajich⁩ ⁦Cei Abreu-Goodger⁩ for helping with the bioinformatics biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new work—Plant mRNAs,in addition to small RNAs, move into a fungal pathogen via #Extracellular Vesicles to reduce infection. Big thanks to ⁦⁦collaborators ⁦Cei Abreu-Goodger⁩ &Paul Birch and great job ⁦⁦shumeiwang⁩ & team! cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Check out this news about our new work. Plants use EVs to deliver mRNA into mold cells and reduce its infection. This strategy offers insights into plant defenses and potential for eco-friendly fungicides. Huge step in our battle against fungal pathogens! news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/…
