<scp>RNAi</scp> assay in the 28‐spotted ladybeetle <i>Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata</i> suggests nuclear receptor <scp><i>HR3</i></scp> as a potential molecular target for pest control
These findings indicate that HvHR3 is a critical regulator of development, molting, and reproduction, underscoring its potential as a molecular target for RNA interference-based biopesticides aimed at controlling this pest. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
