Spray-Induced Gene Silencing Suppresses Gene Expression and Growth of the Fruit-Rot Pathogen Colletotrichum fioriniae

The fungal pathogen Colletotrichum fioriniae causes disease in plant species such as hops, blueberries, and apples. Management of the pathogen is highly reliant on conventional synthetic fungicides, with cultivars having uncharacterized or incomplete resistance. This is increasingly problematic with fungicide-resistant...
