RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which small RNA (sRNA) molecules
sequence-specifically silence gene expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional …

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 …

Commercial biotechnology solutions for controlling lepidopteran and coleopteran insect
pests on crops depend on the expression of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal proteins …

Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful
model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of …

A serious shortcoming of many insecticides is that they can kill non-target species. To
address this issue, we harnessed the sequence specificity of RNA interference (RNAi) to …

Double-stranded RNA-mediated gene interference (RNAi) in Caenorhabditis elegans
systemically inhibits gene expression throughout the organism. To investigate how gene …

Insects are infected by a wide array of viruses some of which are insect restricted and
pathogenic, and some of which are transmitted by biting insects to vertebrates. The medical …

RNA interference (RNAi) based methods are being developed for pest management. A few
products for control of coleopteran pests are expected to be commercialized soon. However …

Downregulation of the expression of specific genes through RNA interference (RNAi), has
been widely used for genetic research in insects. The method has relied on the injection of …

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