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 …

Antisense RNA was observed to elicit plant disease resistance and post-translational gene
silencing (PTGS). The universal mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) was shown to be …

Gene suppression via RNA interference (RNAi) provides an alternative strategy for insect
pest management. The ingestion by insects of double-stranded RNAs targeting essential …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small
interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous …

RNAi is applied as a new and safe method for pest control in agriculture but efficiency and
specificity of delivery of dsRNA trigger remains a critical issue. Various agents have been …

Stem borers (Lepidoptera) are common cereal pests. In many parts of the world, the species
Ostrinia nubilalis and Sesamia nonagrioides stand out as important insect pests of …

Simple Summary Large amounts of conventional insecticides are used to control insect
pests in agricultural production worldwide. New sustainable strategies, more specific and …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to study functional genomics in insects and the
potential of using RNAi to suppress crop pests has made outstanding progress. However …

RNA interference (RNAi)-based pest control is viewed as a safe and effective method for
insect pest control. However, the stability and efficient cellular delivery of the double …

Various plant species contain terpene secondary metabolites, which disrupt insect growth
and development by affecting the activity of juvenile hormone-degrading enzymes, and the …
