Plant-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential in crop protection. It relies on
plants stably expressing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that target essential genes in pest …

RNA interference (RNAi), the sequence-specific suppression of gene expression, offers
great opportunities for insect science, especially to analyze gene function, manage pest …

Insects constitute the largest and most diverse group of animals on Earth with an equally
diverse virome. The main antiviral immune system of these animals is the post …

Lepidoptera comprise some of the most devastating herbivorous pest insects worldwide.
One of the most promising novel pest control strategies is exploiting the RNA interference …

RNA interference (RNAi) based methods are being developed for pest management. A few
products for control of coleopteran pests are expected to be commercialized soon. However …

More than 70% of all agricultural pests are insects in the order Lepidoptera, which, unlike
other related insect orders, are not very sensitive to RNAi, limiting genetic studies of this …

Over the past decade, RNA interference (RNAi), the sequence-specific suppression of gene
expression, has proven very promising for molecular research in many species, including …

The responsiveness towards orally delivered dsRNA and the potency of a subsequent
environmental RNA interference (RNAi) response strongly differs between different insect …

BACKGROUND The Neotropical stink bug Euschistus heros is a major pest in soybean
fields. Development of highly species‐specific pesticides based on RNA interference (RNAi) …

RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful tool for knocking-down gene function
in diverse taxa including arthropods for both basic biological research and application in …
