Four sequential filters constrain the efficacy of spray-induced gene silencing against fungal pathogens.

Fungal pathogens remain a major constraint on crop production, while resistance and residue concerns increasingly limit reliance on conventional fungicides. Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS), an RNA interference (RNAi)-based approach, offers a non-transgenic and sequence-specific strategy for controlling fungal disea...
