Establishing RNAi for basic research and pest control and identification of the most efficient target genes for pest control: a brief guide

Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful tool for knocking-down gene function in diverse taxa including arthropods for both basic biological research and application in pest control. The conservation of the RNAi mechanism in eukaryotes suggested that it should—in principle—be appli...
