AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the interactions between rice plants and brown planthoppers (BPHs), focusing on the molecular mechanisms involved in these plant-insect relationships.
- It emphasizes the role of small RNAs (sRNAs) in regulating various biological processes and suggests they are crucial for mediating gene silencing during rice-BPH interactions.
- The review highlights recent findings on cross-kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi) between plants and insects, and discusses potential applications of this knowledge for developing safer pest management strategies for rice crops.
Article Abstract
Interactions between rice plants ( L.) and brown planthoppers ( Stål, BPHs) are used as a model system to study the molecular mechanisms underlying plant-insect interactions. Small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate growth, development, immunity, and environmental responses in eukaryotic organisms, including plants and insects. Recent research suggests that sRNAs play significant roles in rice-BPH interactions by mediating post-transcriptional gene silencing. The focus of this review is to explore the roles of sRNAs in rice-BPH interactions and to highlight recent research progress in unraveling the mechanism of cross-kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi) between host plants and insects and the application of ckRNAi in pest management of crops including rice. The research summarized here will aid in the development of safe and effective BPH control strategies.
