Texte description poppins... To address the limitations of existing solutions, CAP’siRNA thought of using the natural plant defense mechanism adapting it to certain pests: RNA interference (RNAi). In this process, small RNAs will enter the plant, be cut by the plant into RNAi that will recognize the virus already present and degrade it. The RNAs will only be active in the plant during a limited period (only a few weeks). However, since RNA is a fragile element, CAP’siRNA protect them with viral capsids to keep them intact until their entry in the plant. This rigid barrier is naturally present around viruses to protect them from the environment, and to allow their transportation and entry in a plant cell. Therefore, CAP’siRNA decided to combine these principles through a biomimetic approach, which protects our RNAs from the external environment and facilitates their entry onto the plant surface. CAP’siRNA is highly specific, targeting the BYV and degrading it as soon as it enters the beet, thus preventing the spread of the disease.
