Exogenous rna interference molecules: SyngentaRecent Research Landscape
Crop loss from pest predation and nucleic acid degradation during transport increases operational costs. These innovations utilize sequence-specific RNA molecules to trigger gene silencing in target organisms while stabilizing the genetic payload.
What technical problems is Syngenta addressing in Exogenous rna interference molecules?
Insecticide resistance and crop damage
(3)evidences
Agricultural yield loss caused by insect infestation and feeding. Mitigating this damage reduces reliance on traditional chemical pesticides and prevents large-scale crop failure.
Rapid nucleic acid degradation
(1)evidences
Biological samples and genetic material are prone to rapid enzymatic and chemical breakdown. Preventing this instability ensures the integrity of molecular data for downstream analysis.
