The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 505-517, August 2025.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.

Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3195-3233, August 2025.Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3333-3348, August 2025.Summary With changes in complex environments, plants, especially their leaves, are constantly adapting. Aquatic plants face more diverse and harsh survival situations. However, their adaptive mechanisms are largely unknown. Euryale ferox is a floating leaf aquatic plant characterized by large and rapidly expanding leaves that serve as a model for ...

Wolbachia infection reshapes the microbiome of the small brown planthopper
, 2020 The microbial communities associated with a host are known to affect the tness of that host. And insects are no exception. Disturbing an insect’s microbiome has been demonstrated to alter traits, such as its sensitivity to a pathogen.
