Nanopesticides are nanostructures with two to three dimensions between 1 to 200 nm, used
to carry agrochemical ingredients (AcI). Because of their unique properties, the loading of …

Exploiting the RNA interference (RNAi) gene mechanism to silence essential genes in pest
insects, leading to toxic effects, has surfaced as a promising new control strategy in the past …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which small RNA (sRNA) molecules
sequence-specifically silence gene expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional …

The drastic loss of biodiversity has alarmed the public and raised sociopolitical demand for
chemical pesticide-free plant production, which is now treated by governments worldwide as …

It is becoming abundantly clear that the microbes associated with plants and insects can
profoundly influence plant-insect interactions. Here, we focus on recent findings and …

Hemipteran insects are devastating pests of crops due to their wide host range, rapid
reproduction, and ability to transmit numerous plant-infecting pathogens as vectors. While …

Extensive use of chemical pesticides poses a great threat to the environment and food
safety. The discovery of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins with effective insecticidal activity …

RNA interference (RNAi) has developed rapidly as a potential “green” pest management
strategy. At present, most studies have focused on the screening of aphid lethal genes …

Wheat and barley are the most highly produced and consumed grains in the world. Various
pathogens—viruses, bacteria, fungi, insect pests, and nematode parasites—are major …

RNA interference (RNAi) is an homology‐dependent gene silencing mechanism that is a
feasible and sustainable avenue for the management of hemipteran pests. Commercial …
