Host Induced Gene Silencing of the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum ABHYDROLASE-3 gene reduces disease severity in Brassica napus

N. Wytinck, D. J. Ziegler, P. L. Walker, D. S. Sullivan, K. T. Biggar, D. Khan, S. K. Sakariyahu, O. Wilkins, S. Whyard, M. F. Belmonte

This study shows that engineering Brassica napus to silence a key gene in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum reduces disease severity through host-induced gene silencing.

Tissue-specific mRNA profiling of the Brassica napus-Sclerotinia sclerotiorum interaction uncovers novel regulators of plant immunity

P. Walker, I. Girard, S. Giesbrecht, S. Whyard, D. Fernando, T. de Kievit, M. F. Belmonte

The paper uses laser microdissection and RNA sequencing to profile tissue-specific mRNA responses in B. napus to S. sclerotiorum, identifying novel genes involved in plant immunity.
