Abstract

(Short correspondence) In many organisms, including the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, introduction of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been observed to deplete the endogenous mRNA that shares a high degree of sequence identity with the introduced dsRNA. Here we demonstrate that the dsRNA delivered through tobacco plants not only leads to almost total depletion of the target mRNA in the plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita, but also provides the host effective resistance against the parasite.
