Advantages: on mining of Chinese farmers our
PGRs are working as “Tears of Angels” – in such
small quantities and with high efficacy.
PGRs are characterized by high efficiency, low doses
of using (20-30 ml per 1 ton of seed or 1 hectare of
crops) and ecological safety (1 m2
gets 1*10-9
g of
active substance). It is nanobio-ecotechnology of XXI
centure.
The technologies of their
application coincide with
existing agromethods.

The mechanism of the physiological
action at the cellular level
1.1. Over the past 15 years, muchOver the past 15 years, much
attention is paid to the isolation ofattention is paid to the isolation of
eukaryotic from cells andeukaryotic from cells and
determination of the biological role ofdetermination of the biological role of
small regulatory RNAs (smallsmall regulatory RNAs (small
regulatory RNA) in RNAi (RNAregulatory RNA) in RNAi (RNA
interference), which is calledinterference), which is called
posttranscriptional gene silencingposttranscriptional gene silencing
(PTGS) in plants, animals and fungi(PTGS) in plants, animals and fungi..

2. Gene silencing is a process which
results in either degradation or blocking
of the translation of mRNA target
molecules, it is of great importance in
the adaptive virus resistance in
protecting of the genome against
transpositions of mobile DNA -
elements and ontogenetic regulation of
gene expression.
2 types of small regulatory RNA –
miRNA (microRNA) and siRNA (short
interfering RNA) have a dominant role
in silencing.

action at the cellular level

action at the cellular level
3. Si/miRNA are similar in structure
and function (characterized by
antisense structure complementary to
mRNA) and play a dual role in plants:
1) jointly with site - specific
multisubunit endo- and exonucleases,
which are components of RISC
complex (RNA - induced silencing
complex), si/mi RNA determined the
life time of each mRNA molecules.
They primarily destroy by degradation
(cleavage) or blocking (silencing) of
translation the aberrant and imperfect
on the structure molecules mRNA,
which may appear incorrectly in cells,
2) serve protective (antipatogenic and
antiparasitic) function.
15. 15
The mechanism of the physiological
action at the cellular level
4. In both cases, these
biological effects are achieved
by binding si/mi RNA with
complementary polynucleotide
link of mRNA of own cells, or
pathogenic viruses, or harmful
organisms such as nematodes.
16. 16
The mechanism of the physiological
action at the cellular level
5. Scientists propose two
approaches to increase the number
of si/mi RNA in response to
pathogenesis:
1) by introducing into cells of
additional number of gene copies of
si/mi RNA by genetic transformation,
and
2) activation of expression of own
cellular genes of si/mi RNA synthesis
by some specific inducers.

will be studied to the degree where they can be ranked as the gold
reserve of the agrochemical methods invariably increasing a harvest
yield, and can be recommended for universal application”
