The drastic loss of biodiversity has alarmed the public and raised sociopolitical demand for
chemical pesticide-free plant production, which is now treated by governments worldwide as …

The limitations of conventional pesticides have raised the demand for innovative and
sustainable solutions for plant protection. RNA Interference (RNAi) triggered by dsRNA has …

RNAi is a potent technique for the knockdown of target genes. However, its potential off-
target effects limit the widespread applications in both reverse genetic analysis and genetic …

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 …

We highlight the recent 5 years of research that contributed to our understanding of the
mechanisms of RNA interference (RNAi) in insects. Since its first discovery, RNAi has …

The unprecedented target-specificity of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), due to its sequence-
specific mode of action, puts dsRNA at the forefront of biosafe insecticide technology. Since …

RNA interference (RNAi) efficiency dramatically varies among different insects and among
administration methods. Numerous studies have revealed that a poor RNAi response is …

The leafhopper Dalbulus maidis is a harmful pest that causes severe damage to corn crops.
Conventional chemical pesticides have negative environmental impacts, emphasizing the …

The efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) varies substantially among different insect
species. Rapid degradation of double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) by dsRNA‐degrading …

RNA interference (RNAi) is an efficient, species-specific technology to control invasive pests.
However, its efficacy varies among insect species, notably due to the presence of double …
