A Non-Canonical Pathway Induced by Externally Applied Virus-Specific dsRNA in Potato Plants.

ABSTRACT: The external application of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has recently been developed as a non-transgenic approach for crop protection against pests and pathogens. This novel and emerging approach has come to prominence due to its safety and environmental benefits. It is generally assumed that the mechanism of dsRNA-mediated antivirus RNA silencing is similar to that of natural RNA interference (RNAi)-based defence against RNA-containing viruses. There is, however, no direct evidence to support this idea. Here, we provide data on the high-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) as hallmarks of RNAi induced by infection with the RNA-containing potato virus Y (PVY) and also by exogenous application of dsRNA which corresponds to a fragment of the PVY genome.
