RNA-based plant vaccine could supplant chemical pesticides

The video discusses the drawbacks of chemical pest control and introduces an innovative RNA-based vaccine developed in Finland and France. This vaccine targets specific pests or pathogens by triggering RNA interference, which disrupts the pests' RNA functions, leading to their death. The RNA molecules in the vaccine are safe for plants and environmentally friendly due to their biodegradability.
