Effective target genes for RNA interference‐based management of the cabbage stem flea beetle
An oral RNAi screen consisting of 27 dsRNAs identified effective target genes for RNAi‐based pest control in the cabbage stem flea beetle The most effective target genes were involved in proteasomal pathways or gene expression, and their sequences were subjected to in silico off‐target analysis Knock‐down of some effective target genes also inhibited ...

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

Insecticide resistance management scenarios differ for RNA‐based sprays and traits
dsRNA insecticides are developed as transgenic traits or sprays. IRM for dsRNA traits is based on stacked modes of action and a refuge. IRM for dsRNA sprays is based on rotating dsRNA with different modes of action insecticides. Abstract RNA‐based bioinsecticides that comprise a dsRNA active ingredient and function by RNA interference (RNAi) are being ...

Colorado potato beetle's RNA interference (RNAi) response was enhanced when insecticidal dsactin was consumed at high temperatures. The enhanced RNAi outcomes at high temperatures were not a function of dose or the expression of core RNAi genes. The potato cultivar consumed by Colorado potato beetle larvae did not affect RNAi outcomes, but larvae did ...

From Bednets to Rocket Ships: Efficiency in the Long‐Term and Neglect for the Present
ABSTRACT In this article I develop an objection to Longtermism – the view that concern for the long‐term future is a moral imperative – that is often gestured at, but not fleshed out. I call this the Far‐Future Priority Objection: Longtermism may entail significant resource reallocation and systemic neglect of the worst off today.

ABSTRACT The polyphagous tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), inflicts substantial damage to strawberries and to several other valuable crops, impacting both yield quantity and quality. Effective control strategies are crucial to mitigate these losses. This study aimed to elucidate TPB host preferences
