Abstract
RNA interference, which is part of a complex network of interconnected pathways for cellular defense, RNA surveillance and development. It has evolved into a powerful tool for manipulating gene expression in the laboratory. It is the process through which double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) silences specific gene expression by degrading associated mRNA in a homology-dependent manner. Interfering RNA (RNAi) is a quick and easy method that can be used in a variety of organisms. The potential of RNAi technology is enormous. In this article, we discuss about how does RNAi works and its application in growth and development of plants.
