Gene-silencing spray to combat cereal disease is safe for the environment

Researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and
James Hutton Institute have investigated how spray-induced gene silencing
affects other microorganisms for the first time. This method is a step
forward for a more sustainable farming system through an environmentally
friendly alternative to chemical fungicides.



Fusarium head blight, caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, is a major
threat to cereal crops, reducing yield and quality and posing a growing risk
to global food security. Spray-induced gene silencing is a technique that
could help manage the disease by targeting and silencing the genes the
pathogen uses to infect the crop.
