科学家为植物制定以RNA为基础的防止常见病毒的保护办法,提供可持续的杀虫剂替代品。 Scientists develop RNA-based protection for plants against a common virus, offering a sustainable pesticide alternative.

Martin Luther大学Halle-Wittenberg的科学家研制了以RNA为基础的物质,保护植物免受普通农业病毒Cucumbermasaic病毒(CMV病毒)的危害。 Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have developed RNA-based substances that protect plants from the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), a common agricultural virus. 在实验室试验中,这些物质(称为edsRNA)保护了80%-100%的经处理的植物。 In lab tests, these substances, known as edsRNA, protected 80-100% of treated plants. 这一突破可以为化学杀虫剂提供可持续的替代品,有可能提高作物生产力,支持粮食安全。 This breakthrough could offer a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, potentially enhancing crop productivity and supporting food security.
