In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress
crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi …

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 …

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

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 …

RNA interference (RNAi) effects in insects are highly variable and may be largely dependent
upon the stability of introduced double-stranded RNAs to digestion by nucleases. Here, we …

RNAi-based technologies are ideal for pest control as they can provide species specificity
and spare nontarget organisms. However, in some pests biological barriers prevent use of …

Many herbivorous beetles (Order Coleoptera) contribute to serious losses in crop yields and
forest trees, and plant biotechnology solutions are being developed with the hope of limiting …

RNA interference (RNAi) approaches have been applied as a biotechnological tool for
controlling plant insect pests via selective gene down regulation. However, the inefficiency …

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) are transmembrane proteins that generate an
action potential in excitable cells and play an essential role in neuronal signaling. Since …

We review RNA interference (RNA i) of insect pests and its potential for implementing sterile
insect technique (SIT)‐related control. The molecular mechanisms that support RNA i in pest …
