Mandelli & Deluc identified 9 "hotspots" on the Grapevine Red Blotch Virus genome that are highly targeted by the grapevine's defense system. Delivering double-stranded RNA from these sites significantly reduced viral expression, paving the way for targeted RNAi biopesticides: https://bit.ly/3Jvwr9e
Fig. 3. Mapping of the most significantly represented viral small-interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) to the grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) genome (NY358 to JQ901105.2). A, Linear representation of the GRBV genomic features (open reading frames [ORFs] and intergenic regions) and the location of RNA interference (RNAi) hotspots (HSs). The genomic features are labeled as follows: long intergenic region (LIR), coat protein (V1 or CP), short intergenic region (SIR), and replication-associated protein (C1 or RepA). B, Predicted secondary structures for each HS. The color coding on these structures, generated by RNAfold, reflects the entropy at each position, indicating the binding stability between base pairs (red = high stability, green/blue = low stability).

Classical Botany in the Shadow of Molecular Science: Why It Still Matters | Plantae
The Decline of Classical Botany Though many of us may recognize the word ‘botany’, we may also associate it with dusty books and 18th century science. ‘Botany’ is not used frequently in our…
