2022/02 Nanocarriers may lead to pest-resistant crops without changing the plant genome
https://www.riken.jp/en/news_pubs/research_news/pr/2022/20220223_1/index.html Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have shown that cell-penetrating peptides (CPP*) can be used to introduce plasmid DNA into plants by spraying. Depending on the DNA carried by the plasmid, the researchers showed that they could express foreign proteins in the plant, introduce interfering RNA which silences specific […]
