Slide Content
Transplastomic tomatoes expressing double-stranded RNA against a conserved gene are efficiently protected from multiple spider mites ( Wu et al., 2022)
Study Design Species tested : Tetranychus evansi , T. truncatus , T. cinnabarinus Evaluate wheter transplastomic tomato plants expressing dsRNA targeting - actin can protect against multiple spider mite species Objetive Transformation by Biobalistic Agrotransformation Measured survival , reproduction and plant damage . Molecular confirmation : RT-PCR, northen blotting , southern blottingn and qPCR . Target: conserved - actin gene region of three spider mite species . Plastid transformation expected to accumulate more dsRNA .

Conclusions Plastid-mediated RNAi protects tomato plants from spider mites. Transplastomic plants more effective than nuclear. Expands RNAi application for sustainable crop protection
