ViroiDoc
The sub-project within the EU-funded Doctoral Network ViroiDoc focuses on the exogenous applications of RNA molecules for the non-transgenic control of resistance to viroid infections. Coding and non-coding regulatory RNAs are used to specifically modulate gene expression in plants. Various RNA species are used to strengthen the natural defense of plants against viroids.
The expansion of the RNA toolbox to include mRNA and antisense circular RNA (caRNA) enables more precise gene regulation and intrinsic modifications, including the integration of CRISPR/Cas components. These innovative approaches not only improve the control of viroid infections, but also offer a wide range of applications in plant defense and sustainable agriculture.

The expansion of the RNA toolbox to include mRNA and antisense circulator RNA (caRNA) enables more precise gene regulations and intrinsic modifications, including the integration of CRISPR/Cas components. These innovative approaches not only improve the control of viroid infections, but also offer a wide range of applications in plant defense and sustainable agriculture.
