The South American fruit fly : an important pest insect with RNAi-sensitive larval stages [PDF]
, 2019 RNA interference (RNAi) technology has been used in the development of approaches for pest control. The presence of some essential genes, the so-called "core genes," in the RNAi machinery is crucial for its efficiency and robust response in gene ...

First Evidence of Bud Feeding-Induced RNAi in a Crop Pest via Exogenous Application of dsRNA [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) is a potential strategy for agricultural pest management, whereby nucleotide sequence-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can be sprayed onto a crop; the desired effect being a consumption of dsRNA by the target pest, and subsequent gene silencing-induced mortality.

Knockdown of piRNA pathway proteins results in enhanced Semliki forest virus production in mosquito cells [PDF]
, 2013 The exogenous siRNA pathway is important in restricting arbovirus infection in mosquitoes. Less is known about the role of the PIWI-interacting RNA pathway, or piRNA pathway, in antiviral responses. Viral piRNA-like molecules have recently been described

A novel sustainable platform for scaled manufacturing of double-stranded RNA biopesticides
Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2022 RNA interference (RNAi) represents one of the most conserved pathways evolved by eukaryotic cells for regulating gene expression. RNAi utilises non-translatable double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules to sequester or degrade mRNA molecules gene.

Reduction in Musca domestica fecundity by dsRNA-mediated gene knockdown. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 House flies (Musca domestica) are worldwide agricultural pests with estimated control costs at $375 million annually in the U.S. Non-target effects and widespread resistance challenge the efficacy of traditional chemical control.

Viral RNA at two stages of reovirus infection is required for the induction of necroptosis [PDF]
, 2017 Necroptosis, a regulated form of necrotic cell death, requires the activation of the RIP3 kinase. Here, we identify that infection of host cells with reovirus can result in necroptosis.

The antiviral RNAi response in vector and non-vector cells against orthobunya viruses [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Vector arthropods control arbovirus replication and spread through antiviral innate immune responses including RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Arbovirus infections have been shown to induce the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) and

Antiviral RNA Interference against Orsay Virus Is neither Systemic nor Transgenerational in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
, 2015 UNLABELLED: Antiviral RNA-mediated silencing (RNA interference [RNAi]) acts as a powerful innate immunity defense in plants, invertebrates, and mammals. In Caenorhabditis elegans, RNAi is systemic; i.e., RNAi silencing signals can move between cells and ...
