Zoology - Biotechnology and Its Applications Question with Solution | TestHub

The process of RNA interference (RNA) has been used in the development of plants resistant to nematodes like Moloidegyne in cognitia, which infects the roots of tobacoo plants and causes a great reduction in yied. RNAi takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).
