Abstract: 

This chapter discusses recent work conducted to assess the potential of
double-stranded (ds)RNA targeting essential fungal ergosterol
biosynthesis genes to control the infection of barley by the
necrotrophic pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum.
Regardless of how dsRNA is applied - by transgene expression
(host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) or spray application (spray-induced
gene silencing, SIGS) - the use of target-specific inhibitory RNA to
mediate protection against fungal infection is a potential alternative
to conventional chemicals, though many questions concerning field
application of the novel technique remain unresolved.
