The use of RNA interference for the management of arthropod pests in livestock farms L'uso di RNA interferente per il controllo degli artropodi infestanti negli allevamenti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 631-646, December 2023., 2023
Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

Emergence of terpene chemical communication in insects: Evolutionary recruitment of isoprenoid metabolism

Protein Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Insects have evolved a chemical communication system using terpenoids, a structurally diverse class of specialized metabolites, previously thought to be exclusively produced by plants and microbes. Gene discovery, bioinformatics, and biochemical characterization of multiple insect terpene synthases (TPSs) revealed that isopentenyl diphosphate ...
