Towards an understanding of the molecular basis of effective RNAi against a global insect pest, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci

In planta RNAi against essential insect genes offers a promising route to control insect crop pests, but is constrained for many insect groups, notably phloem sap-feeding hemipterans, by poor RNAi efficacy. This study conducted on the phloem-feeding whitefly Bemisia tabaci reared on tomato plants in...
