Resumen
Descripción
Thus, the present study is focused on the chitosan-dsRNA interactions and the physicochemical properties of the dsRNA-loaded nanoparticles, including cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays. dsRNA molecules homologous to a partial genome of the phytopathogenic tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) were used as the model virus. The combination of chitosan's antimicrobial properties and its delivery capability provides a potential for ds-RNA-nanoparticles to deliver dsRNA as a tool for virus disease control in crops.
