Abstract

RNA interference (RNAi) inhibits gene expression in a very specific way. It has a vital significance in the regulation of gene expression, the defense of viral infection, the controlling of jumping genes. In recent years, RNAi has become an important method of studying gene function with its high specificity, efficiency, hereditability and other significant advantages and has been used in the study of functional genomics and traits improvement. This paper simply introduces the RNAi mechanism and discusses the applications of RNAi in plant functional genomics, crop quality improvement, and resistance of disease and insect.
