RNA interference (RNAi) is an endogenous, sequence‐specific gene‐silencing mechanism
elicited by small RNA molecules. RNAi is a powerful reverse genetic tool, and is currently …

Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized the study of gene
function, particularly in non-model insects. However, in Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) …

BACKGROUND RNAi is a powerful tool used to study gene function. It also has been
hypothesized to be a promising new method for control of insect pests on crops, although …

RNA interference already proved its usefulness in functional genomic research on insects,
but it also has considerable potential for the control of pest insects. For this purpose, the …

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 insect pests are big threat in meeting the food demands for future generation. The
present pest control strategies, including the existing transgenic approaches show certain …

Background RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved cellular mechanism. In some
organisms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans, the RNAi response can be transmitted …

The increasing availability of insect genomes has revealed a large number of genes with
unknown functions and the resulting problem of how to discover these functions. The RNA …

Efforts to develop more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional broad-spectrum
pesticides in agriculture have recently turned to RNA interference (RNAi) technology. With …

RNA interference is a post-transcriptional, gene regulation mechanism found in virtually all
plants and animals including insects. The demonstration of RNAi in insects and its …
