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 …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with antiviral activity (antiviral peptides: AVPs) have become
a research hotspot and already show immense potential to become pharmaceutically …

The application of RNAi promotes the development of novel approaches toward plant
protection in a sustainable way. Genetically modified crops expressing dsRNA have been …

Viruses pose a great threat to animal and plant health worldwide, with many being
dependent on insect vectors for transmission between hosts. While the virus–host arms race …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a form of gene silencing triggered by double‐stranded RNA
(dsRNA) that operates in all eukaryotic cells. RNAi has been widely investigated in insects to …

Bees are important plant pollinators in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. Managed
and wild bees have experienced high average annual colony losses, population declines …

BACKGROUND With the growing number of available aphid genomes and transcriptomes,
an efficient and easy‐to‐adapt tool for gene function study is urgently required. RNA …

Partitiviruses are segmented, multipartite double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses that until
recently were only known to infect fungi, plants, and protozoans. Metagenomic surveys have …

RNA interference (RNAi), usually referring to the small interfering (si) RNA pathway, is
promising in the development of a new generation of insect pest control products. However …

Viruses represent a major threat to all animals, which defend themselves through induction
of a large set of virus-stimulated genes that collectively control the infection. In vertebrates …
