Aphis gossypii Glover is an important insect pest that functions as a viral vector and mediates approximately 45 different viral diseases. As part of a strategy for control of A. gossypii, we investigated the functions of genes using RNAi. To this end, a cDNA library was constructed for various genes and for selecting appropriate targets for RNAi mediated silencing. The cDNA library was constructed using the Gateway cloning system with site‐specific recombination of bacteriophage λ. It was used to carry out single step cloning of A. gossypii cDNAs. As a result, a cDNA library with a titer of 8.4 × 106 was constructed. Since the sequences in this library carry att sites, they can be cloned into various binary vectors. This library will be of value for various studies. For later screening of selected genes, it is planned to clone the library into virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) vectors, which makes it possible to analyze gene function and allow subsequent transfection of plants. Such transfection experiments will allow testing of RNAi‐induced insecticidal activity or repellent activity to A. gossypii, and result in the identification of target genes. It is also expected that the constructed cDNA library will be useful for analysis of gene functions in A. gossypii. 相似文献

Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized the study of gene function, particularly in non-model insects. However, in Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) RNAi has many times proven to be difficult to achieve. Most of the negative results have been anecdotal and the positive experiments have not been collected in such a way that they are possible to analyze. In this review, we have collected detailed data from more than 150 experiments including all to date published and many unpublished experiments. Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity. On the contrary, gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence. In addition, gene silencing by feeding dsRNA requires high concentrations for success. Possible causes for the variability of success in RNAi experiments in Lepidoptera are discussed. The review also points to a need to further investigate the mechanism of RNAi in lepidopteran insects and its possible connection to the innate immune response. Our general understanding of RNAi in Lepidoptera will be further aided in the future as our public database at http://insectacentral.org/RNAi will continue to gather information on RNAi experiments. 相似文献

Background
Transgenic RNAi holds promise as a simple, low-cost, and fast method for reverse genetics in mammals. It may be particularly useful for producing animal models for hypomorphic gene function. Inducible RNAi that permits spatially and temporally controllable gene silencing in vivo will enhance the power of transgenic RNAi approach. Furthermore, because microRNA (miRNA) targeting specific genes can be expressed simultaneously with protein coding genes, incorporation of fluorescent marker proteins can simplify the screening and analysis of transgenic RNAi animals. 相似文献11.

The large number of candidate genes identified by modern high-throughput technologies require efficient methods for generating knockout phenotypes or gene silencing in order to study gene function. RNA interference (RNAi) is an efficient method that can be used for this purpose. Effective gene silencing by RNAi depends on a number of important parameters, including the dynamics of gene expression and the RNA dose. Using mouse hepatoma cells, we detail some of the principal characteristics of RNAi as a tool for gene silencing, such as the RNA dose level, RNA complex exposure time, and the time of transfection relative to gene induction, in the context of silencing a green fluorescent protein reporter gene. Our experiments demonstrate that different levels of silencing can be attained by modulating the dose level of RNA and the time of transfection and illustrate the importance of a dynamic analysis in designing robust silencing protocols. By quantifying the kinetics of RNAi-based gene silencing, we present a model that may be used to help determine key parameters in more complex silencing experiments and explore alternative gene silencing protocols. 相似文献

RNA interference (RNAi) has been used to suppress gene expression in various eukaryotic organisms. In plants, RNAi can be
induced by introduction of an RNAi vector that transcribes a self-complementary hairpin RNA. Most basic RNAi constructs have
an inverted repeat interrupted with a spacer sequence. To test silencing capability of RNAi constructs, we developed an in
vivo assay that is based on the RNAi-mediated changes of the α-linolenic acid content in hairy roots. A tobacco endoplasmic
reticulum ω-3 fatty acid desaturase (NtFAD3) is the main enzyme for production of α-linolenic acid of root membrane lipids.
Tobacco hairy roots transformed with the RNAi vectors against the NtFAD3 gene showed a decrease in α-linolenic acid content. The frequency of RNA silencing was more affected by spacer sequence than
by spacer length, at least between 100 and 1800 bp. Since significant amounts of hairpin RNA against the NtFAD3 gene remained in the transgenic plants displaying a weak silencing phenotype, low degree of silencing was attributed to low
efficiency of hairpin RNA processing mediated by Dicer-like proteins. Our results show the possibility of producing a broad
range of the RNAi-induced silencing phenotypes by replacing the spacer sequence of RNAi construct. 相似文献
