Identification and evaluation of two testis‐specific serine/threonine kinase genes from multi‐tissue transcriptomes as potential genetic targets of sterile insect technique in <scp> <i>Zeugodacus tau</i> </scp>
These results establish ZtTSSKs as crucial regulators of male fertility in Z. tau and identify them as potential molecular targets for developing SIT-based interventions against this economically significant pest. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
