Article Synopsis
- - Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a harmful fungus affecting many crops, and controlling it is difficult due to the absence of resistant plant varieties and its long-lasting sclerotia.
- - Research identified a gene (SsMNO1) crucial for the fungus's growth and virulence, and applying RNA interference (RNAi) strategies targeting this gene successfully inhibited its development and reduced its harmful effects on plants.
- - RNAi agents aimed at SsMNO1 could be a promising method for managing Sclerotinia diseases, demonstrating both effects on preventing sclerotial formation and decreasing hyphal virulence in affected crops.
BACKGROUND Dickkopf Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor (DKK) gene family, which is known to inhibit the Wnt regulation process, is widely found in cancers. However, the roles and functions of specific family members in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are still unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS Online bioinformatics tools (Oncomine, UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier plotter, GEPIA, Metascape, and STRING) were used to analyze the relationships between distinct DKKs and HNSCC.
