Considerations about interference RNA for the control offungal diseases in Mexican and Latin American agriculture

The control of phytopathogens is keyfor food security. In the last decade, the use ofinterference RNA (iRNA) has been proposed as atechnological tool for controlling diseases and pestsin agriculture. Although different approaches havebeen described, such as the use of “Host-InduceGene Silencing” (HIGS) and “Virus-Induce GeneSilencing” (VIGS), more recently a non-transgenicand environmentally friendly approach hasemerged, called “Spray -Induce Gene Silencing (SIGS), which uses double-stranded “naked” RNA(dsRNA). This review discusses recent reportson the use of dsRNA, especially SIGS, to controlphytopathogenic fungi; emphasizing factors suchas efficacy, safety in terms of human health andits stability in the environment. It also focuses onimportant phytosanitary problems in Mexico andLatin America that can be addressed with SIGS.This review concludes that SIGS technology hasreal potential to be used to control phytopathogenicfungi on plants in the field and on postharvestfruits. At the end, the critical tasks and the linesof research that must be carried out to promote theSIGS to make it a reality are considered.
