RNA interference in pest control | Biotechnology and its Applications | Biology | Khan Academy

In this video, we explore how RNA interference (RNAi) plays a crucial role in the world of agriculture by controlling roundworms. We find out how a genetically modified plant can induce the RNAi mechanism in roundworms, ultimately killing them.

Oh my ...Deepika Padukone is a closet biotecnology teacher.

[amitesh]

the bestt video and the most clean and understandable no extra pointgs or enzymes to confuse and the uses of it is explained and how it works is explained perfectly i swear i saw most of videos in yt but tis is so far best acc to

[aizazakbar]

love from pak. so easy to understand the whole phenomena

[shivanshithakur]

i had some other doubt,
in general, the rna produce is single stranded during replication, why would dna produce double stranded rna in this case ?

[Prasannasiva-djfx]

'RISC' stands for RNA-induced silencing complex

[smitapradhan]

@6:00 how can both the DNA strands undergo transcription ?
Only the template DNA strand is supposed to undergo transcription.

[soufisimo]

i have a question ; how does the RNAsi can persist after bein ingested by the worm ?

[sanatshah]

Thanks a lot mam, you are a lifesaver

[anjuarasultana]

Why does the double stranded rna form?
