Rice blast caused by <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> (<i>M. oryzae</i>) is a major threat to global rice production. In recent years, small interference RNAs (siRNAs) and host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) has been shown to be new strategies for the development of transgenic plants to control fungal diseases and proved a useful tool to study gene function in pathogens. We here tested whether <i>in vitro</i> feeding artificial siRNAs (asiRNAs) could compromise <i>M. oryza</i>e virulence and <i>in vivo< ...[more]
