CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of Sex-Specific <i>Doublesex</i> Splicing Variants Leads to Sterility in <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i>, a Global Invasive Pest

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of Sex-Specific <i>Doublesex</i> Splicing Variants Leads to Sterility in <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i>, a Global Invasive Pest

<i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> (J. E. Smith), an emerging invasive pest worldwide, has posed a serious agricultural threat to the newly invaded areas. Although somatic sex differentiation is fundamentally conserved among insects, the sex determination cascade in <i>S. frugiperda</...
