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).

Role of gut symbionts of insect pests: A novel target for insect-pest control
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Insects possess beneficial and nuisance values in the context of the agricultural sector and human life around them. An ensemble of gut symbionts assists insects to adapt to diverse and extreme environments and to occupy every available niche on earth ...
