As an overarching immune mechanism, RNA interference (RNAi) displays pathogen
specificity and memory via different pathways. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway is …

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 …

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 …

In recent years, substantial effort was spent on the exploration and implementation of RNAi
technology using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) for pest management purposes. However …

BACKGROUND RNA interference (RNAi) has potential as a pest insect control technique.
One possible RNAi target is the cuticle protein, which is important in insect molting and …

Contamination with a variety of filamentous fungi can cause deterioration of food and
agricultural products. Fungal contaminations reduce the quality and the shelf life of fresh …

Crop plants suffer severe yield losses due to the significant damages caused by aphids.
RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a versatile and environmentally friendly method for …

The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is an important agricultural pest and an ideal model
organism for various studies. Chitin synthase (CHS) catalyses chitin synthesis, a critical …

RNA interference (RNAi) in insects is routinely used to ascertain gene function, but also has
potential as a technology to control pest species. For some insects, such as beetles …

Over 20 years ago double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) was described as the trigger of RNAi
interference (RNAi)‐based gene silencing. This paradigm has held since, especially for …
