BioClay: next-generation crop protection strategy

Muhammad Arslan Mahmood et al. Trends Plant Sci. 2022 Nov.

Abstract

Whitefly and the viruses they transmit pose a serious threat to crops globally. Recently, Jain et al. showed that BioClay-mediated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) spray provides an eco-friendly approach to controlling whitefly. This 'transgene-free next-generation' insect-specific crop protection strategy may help to reduce the use of chemical pesticides for controlling whitefly.

Keywords: BioClay; dsRNA; foliar spray; nontransgenic; whitefly.
