Transgene-based genetic sexing methods are being developed for insects of agricultural
and public health importance. Male-only rearing has long been sought in sericulture …

Sex separation methods are critical for genetic sexing systems in commercial insect
production and sterile insect techniques. Integration of selectable marker genes into a sex …

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a pest control strategy involving the mass release of
radiation-sterilized insects, which reduce the target population through nonviable matings. In …

Sterile insect technique (SIT)-based pest control programs rely on the mass release of sterile
insects to reduce the wild target population. In many cases, it is desirable to release only …

Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique is a species-specific and environmentally friendly
method of pest control involving mass release of sterilized insects that reduce the wild …

Engineering sex‐specific sterility is critical for developing transgene‐based sterile insect
technology. Targeted genome engineering achieved by customized zinc‐finger nuclease …

Sex determination pathways in insects are generally characterised by an upstream primary
signal, which is highly variable across species, and that regulates the splicing of a suite of …

Fruit fly pest species have been successfully controlled and managed via the Sterile Insect
Technique (SIT), a control strategy that uses infertile matings of sterile males to wild females …

Recently, a novel sex‐determination system was identified in the silkworm (Bombyx mori) in
which a piwi‐interacting RNA (piRNA) encoded on the female‐specific W chromosome …

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is currently being used for the control of many agricultural
pests, including some lepidopteran species. The SIT relies on the rearing and release of …
