RNA interference (RNAi) is a versatile tool frequently used for gene function studies in plants. RNAi phenomenon involves small interfering RNA (siRNA) or short hairpin or microRNA (miRNA) to supress the expression of sequence-specific gene at post-transcriptional or translational level. This technology has been extensively used to study functional relevance of genes, enhancing crop yield, improvement of nutritional quality and increasing crop productivity through suppression of expression of genes responsive to abiotic stress, involved in biomass and grain yield. Here, we are describe mechanism of RNAi mediated gene silencing and application of RNAi technique involving siRNA, shRNA and microRNA for elucidating function of genes responsive to abiotic stress in crops and also for improving abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants.
