Plant-derived, stress-responsive microRNA mimics reduce powdery mildew infections of barley
Barley powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria hordei, leads to economic losses worldwide. Here, in silico analyses and proof-of-concept experiments were conducted to determine if specific plant-derived synthetic microRNAs (miRNAs) may be considered as a new direction for the control of barley powdery mildew. Previous studi...
