Objective
1: Identify double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sequences capable of silencing gene expression to reduce grape powdery mildew development. 2: Evaluate the uptake and the processing of dsRNA by plant to determine its systemic effects on the growth of Erysiphe necator. 3: Evaluate clay nanoparticles to deliver dsRNA efficiently.
