    TSWV is a viral disease that affects tomato plants, leading to significant yield losses and reduced crop quality. It poses a threat to tomato production worldwide, making it crucial to develop effective strategies to combat this disease.
    To address this challenge, our team aims to develop a bacterium-mediated RNA interference (bmRNAi) mechanism as a potential solution. RNAi is a natural biological process that regulates gene expression by targeting and degrading specific RNA molecules. By harnessing RNAi, we plan to interfere with the replication and expression of TSWV genes, thus mitigating the negative effects of the virus on tomato plants.
    By developing an RNAi-based approach, our project aims to make significant progress in addressing the challenge of TSWV in tomatoes to minimize food waste and need for pesticides to prevent the spread of the virus. If successful, our project could provide a promising and sustainable solution for tomato farmers to combat this viral disease. Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to the advancement of biotechnology in agriculture and ensure food security by safeguarding tomato crops from TSWV-related losses.

    <h2>Some advice</h2>
    <hr>
    <p>We encourage you to put up a lot of information and content on your wiki, but we also encourage you to include summaries as much as possible. If you think of the sections in your project description as the sections in a publication, you should try to be concise, accurate, and unambiguous in your achievements. Your Project Description should include more information than your project abstract.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="col-lg-4">
    <h2>References</h2>
    <hr>
    <p>iGEM teams are encouraged to record references you use during the course of your research. They should be posted somewhere on your wiki so that judges and other visitors can see how you thought about your project and what works inspired you.</p>
