Scientists have made significant progress in understanding and unraveling several aspects
of double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐mediated gene silencing during the last two decades …

Tribolium castaneum has a long history as a model species in many distinct subject areas,
but improved connections among the genetics, genomics, behavioral, ecological, and pest …

The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum has emerged as an important insect model system
for a variety of topics. With respect to studying gene function, it is second only to the vinegar …

Background The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum has emerged as an important model
organism for the study of gene function in development and physiology, for ecological and …

Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium have been utilised as informative study systems for over
a century and contributed to major advances across many fields. This review serves to …

Genetic screens are powerful tools to identify the genes required for a given biological
process. However, for technical reasons, comprehensive screens have been restricted to …

Background Insect pest control is challenged by insecticide resistance and negative impact
on ecology and health. One promising pest specific alternative is the generation of …

There is now compelling evidence that many arthropods pattern their segments using a
clock-and-wavefront mechanism, analogous to that operating during vertebrate …

RNAi shows potential as an agricultural technology for insect control, yet, a relatively low
number of robust lethal RNAi targets have been demonstrated to control insects of …

More than half of all extant metazoan species on earth are insects. The evolutionary success
of insects is linked with their ability to osmoregulate, suggesting that they have evolved …
