摘要
系统性是RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)在植物和线虫中的一个重要特性,即RNAi沉默信号可以在细胞和组织间进行传递,近年来研究发现某些昆虫中也存在系统RNAi现象。RN Ai技术对很多领域的发展具有重要的促进作用,包括功能基因组学和害虫防治等领域。综述线虫,昆虫的系统性RNAi研究概况以及RNAi在昆虫领域的应用现状,并展望其应用前景。
A remarkable property of RNA interference ( RNAi ) in the nematode and plants is its systemic nature : silencing signals can cross cellular boundaries to silence gene expression distant from the site of initiation. In the past years, it is found that some insects can also show systemic RNAi. RNAi technology has significant technological advances in diverse fields including functional genomics and agricultural pest control. Here, we collected the current status of systemic RNAi in nematode and insects, we also introduce the current applications in insects as well as expect its potential applications.
