Botrytis cinerea homologues targeted with foliar dsRNA controls fungal infection (a) B. cinerea spore inoculation of B. napus cv. Westar leaves after an application of 500 ng of dsRNA targeting B. cinerea genes was spread over a 4 cm2 area at 4 dpi. (b) Average lesion size compared to control (darker bar) with 4 bioreps of 10 leaves each (n = 40). Error bars represent standard error. All targeting dsRNA treatment were significantly different from GFP control (student’s t-test with Bonferroni correction, p < 0.01).
