Verified by Experts

A nematode Meiodegyne incognitia infects the roots of tobaccoo plants which reduces the production of tobaccoo. It can be prevented by using RNA interference process, which is checked by silencing of specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA. dsRNA binds and prevents the translation of mRNA (silencing).
