Comparative genomics of canonical antifungal dsRNA target genes across fungal plant pathogens: conserved siRNA-length windows define the scope for broad-spectrum spray-induced gene silencing

Muhammad Wasif, Muhammad Ahsan Khan, Muhammad Abubakkar Azmat…·Huma Saleem

This study evaluates the conservation of antifungal dsRNA target genes across fungal plant pathogens at siRNA-length resolution, finding limited conservation beyond closely related species.

Perfect 21-nucleotide matches to beneficial fungi are common in canonical antifungal dsRNA targets: an in-silico off-target hazard screen for spray-induced gene silencing

Muhammad Wasif, Gábor Tarcali, Moman Khan…·Muhammad Abubakkar Azmat

The paper screens dsRNA constructs for off-target effects on beneficial fungi and finds many have perfect 21-nt matches, highlighting a regulatory gap.
