The RNA interference (RNAi) triggered by short/small interfering RNA (siRNA) was
discovered in nematodes and found to function in most living organisms. RNAi has been …

RNA interference is a phenomenon in which the introduction of double‐stranded RNA
(dsRNA) into cells triggers the degradation of the complementary messenger RNA in a …

RNAi is a potent technique for the knockdown of target genes. However, its potential off-
target effects limit the widespread applications in both reverse genetic analysis and genetic …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small
interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous …

RNA interference (RNAi)-based biopesticides are novel biologic products, developed using
RNAi principles. They are engineered to target genes of agricultural diseases, insects, and …

RNA interference (RNAi)-based pesticides are promising novel pest management products
that might reduce environmental impacts compared to other pesticides. Their sequence …

Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a widely distributed, highly polyphagous pest that can cause
severe damage to a variety of economically important crops. Various populations have …

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) pesticides, those based on RNA interference (RNAi)
technology utilizing dsRNA, have shown potential for pest control. However, the off-target …

The mountain pine beetle (MPB), Dendroctonus ponderosae, is an eruptive endemic forest
pest that is undergoing substantial range expansion in response to recent climatic changes …

Insect herbivores are frequently reported to metabolize plant defense compounds, but the
physiological and ecological consequences are not fully understood. It has rarely been …
