RNAi-Mediated Silencing of the Chitinase 5 Gene for Fall Webworm (<i>Hyphantria cunea</i>) Can Inhibit Larval Molting Depending on the Timing of dsRNA Injection

RNAi-Mediated Silencing of the Chitinase 5 Gene for Fall Webworm (<i>Hyphantria cunea</i>) Can Inhibit Larval Molting Depending on the Timing of dsRNA Injection

Chitinases, which are crucial enzymes required for chitin degradation and reconstruction, are often selectively considered to be effective molecular targets for pest control due to their critical roles in insect development. Although the <i>Hyphantria cunea</i> chitinase gene has been re...
