RNA interference (RNAi) is becoming a practical tool to control insect pests. Many mysteries
of how double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is transported into, within, and between cells to …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism of homology dependent gene silencing present in
plants and animals. It operates through 21–24 nucleotides small RNAs which are processed …

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

Genetically modified (GM) crops producing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are being
investigated largely as an RNA interference (RNAi)-based resistance strategy against crop …

Background Crops face several environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic), thus resulting in
severe yield losses. Around the globe abiotic stresses are the main contributors of plant …

The cellular uptake of dsRNA after dietary exposure is critical for RNAi efficiency; however,
the mechanism of its uptake in many insects remains to be understood. In this study, we …

Abstract Background The European red mite, Panonychus ulmi, is among the most important
mite pests in fruit orchards, where it is controlled primarily by acaricide application. However …

Africa, Asia, and Latin America are regions highly affected by endemic diseases, such as
Leishmaniasis, Malaria, and Chagas' disease. They are responsible for the death of 1000s …

RNA interference (RNAi), is a powerful new technology in the discovery of genetic sequence
functions, and has become a valuable tool for functional genomics of cotton (Gossypium …

Gossypium hirsutum (commercial cooton) is one of the most economically important fibers
sources and a commodity crop highly affected by insect pests and pathogens. Several …
