Verified by Experts

Gene expression can be controlled by using RNA molecule. The technology is called RNAinterference or RNAi. rt is used to block the expression of certain genes and aJso referred to as gene silencing. During this process a complementary RNA to the mRNA being produced by the gene is introduced into the cell. This RNA binds to the mRNA making it double stranded and therefore stops translation. Resistance to nematode Meloidcgyne incognita in tomato has been achieved by this method.
