Next Generation dsRNA-Based Insect Control: Success So Far and Challenges. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2021 RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous mRNA sequences aided by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).

Radiation dose-rate is a neglected critical parameter in dose–response of insects
Scientific Reports, 2022 Reproductive sterility is the basis of the sterile insect technique (SIT) and essential for its success in the field. Numerous factors that influence dose–response in insects have been identified. However, historically the radiation dose administered has
