Plants' response to pathogens is highly complex and involves changes at different levels, such as activation or repression of a vast array of genes. Recently, many studies have demonstrated that many RNAs, especially small RNAs (sRNAs), are involved in genetic expression and reprogramming affecting plant-pathogen interactions. The sRNAs, including short interfering RNAs and microRNAs, are noncoding RNA with 18-30 nucleotides, and are recognized as key genetic and epigenetic regulators. In this review, we summarize the new findings about defence-related sRNAs in the response to pathogens and our current understanding of their effects on plant-pathogen interactions. The main content of this review article includes the roles of sRNAs in plant-pathogen interactions, cross-kingdom sRNA trafficking between host and pathogen, and the application of RNA-based fungicides for plant disease control.
植物对病原体的反应非常复杂,涉及不同层面的变化,例如大量基因的激活或抑制。最近,许多研究表明,许多 RNA,特别是小 RNA(sRNA),参与影响植物-病原体相互作用的基因表达和重编程。这些 sRNA,包括短干扰 RNA 和 microRNA,是非编码 RNA,长度为 18-30 个核苷酸,被认为是关键的遗传和表观遗传调节剂。在这篇综述中,我们总结了关于防御相关 sRNA 在应对病原体中的新发现,并介绍了我们目前对其影响植物-病原体相互作用的理解。这篇综述文章的主要内容包括 sRNA 在植物-病原体相互作用中的作用、宿主和病原体之间的跨领域 sRNA 运输,以及基于 RNA 的杀菌剂在植物病害控制中的应用。
