Double‐Stranded DNA Reduces dsRNA Degradation in the Saliva and Significantly Enhanced RNAi‐Mediated Gene Silencing in Halyomorpha halys

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
The invasive pest Halyomorpha halys causes significant crop losses requiring innovative pest control strategies such as RNA interference (RNAi). However, oral RNAi is largely ineffective in H. halys. This study shows that double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) stabilizes dsRNA in saliva by inhibiting a highly expressed nuclease.

Postharvest jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate dip treatments alleviate chilling injury and maintain quality of cold‐stored ‘Black Amber’ and ‘Tegan Blue’ Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindell)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 10, Page 5583-5591, 15 August 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chilling injury (CI) in Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindell) is a critical cold storage constraint that adversely impacts fruit quality and marketability. Jasmonic acid (JA) and its methyl derivative ‘methyl jasmonate’ (MeJA) are widely studied phytohormones for the mitigation of CI in several fruit crops, whereas their efficacy
