Transgenic East African Highland Banana Plants Are Protected against <i>Radopholus similis</i> through Host-Delivered RNAi

Transgenic East African Highland Banana Plants Are Protected against <i>Radopholus similis</i> through Host-Delivered RNAi

The burrowing nematode <i>Radopholus similis</i> is considered a major problem of intensive banana cultivation. It can cause extensive root damage resulting in the toppling disease of banana, which means that plants fall to the ground. Soaking <i>R. similis</i> in double-stra...
