Silencing Dicer-Like Genes Reduces Virulence and sRNA Generation in <i>Penicillium italicum,</i> the Cause of Citrus Blue Mold

The Dicer protein is one of the most important components of RNAi machinery because it regulates the production of small RNAs (sRNAs) in eukaryotes. Here, Dicer1-like gene (Pit-DCL1) and Dicer2-like gene (Pit-DCL2) RNAi transformants were generated via pSilent-1 in <i>Penicillium italicum</...
