Plant-mediated RNAi silences midgut-expressed genes in congeneric lepidopteran insects in nature

Abstract Background Plant-mediated RNAi (PMRi) silencing of insect genes has enormous potential for crop protection, but whether it works robustly under field conditions, particularly with lepidopteran pests, remains controversial. Wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata and cultivated tobacco (N. tabacum)...
