Silencing of Double-Stranded Ribonuclease Improves Oral RNAi Efficacy in Southern Green Stinkbug Nezaraviridula. [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary RNAi interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism found in all eukaryotes. This mechanism is initiated by the presence of double-stranded RNA in the cells and leads to the blockage of protein synthesis of a target gene.
