Find XO: RNAi Patent by Genolution Opens Green Bio Innovation (venturesquare.net)

- Genolution has filed a patent for RNA interference technology targeting the control of pine wilt disease. - This is an attempt to solve the issues of resistance and residual toxicity of traditional chemical pesticides by targeting specific pests. - If a small team starts a similar business, they may focus more on narrowing targets and accumulating field data rather than expanding the pests' range initially. - It is too early to judge from the patent filing alone whether it will be effective in actual pest control fields.
