exogenously applied double‐stranded RNA to specifically reduce pest target gene�…

Organisms are exposed to a tough environment, where acute daily challenges, like light, can
strongly affect several aspects of an individual's physiology, including pathogenesis. While�…

B otrytis cinerea is the causal agent of gray mold disease in various plant species and
produces grayish macroconidia and/or black sclerotia at the end of the infection cycle. It has�…
