Development and evaluation of <scp>RNA</scp> microsphere‐based <scp>RNAi</scp> approaches for managing the striped flea beetle (<i>Phyllotreta striolata</i>), a globally destructive pest of <scp>Cruciferae</scp> crops
This study shows the potential of using RMS to suppress the expression of target genes and subsequently produce significant mortality rates and behavioral changes in RMS-fed adult P. striolata. These findings underscore the promises and viability of using RMS as an effective strategy for gene function studies and species-specific management of agricultural important insect pests. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
