RNAi in Insect Physiology: Unlocking Mechanisms and Pioneering Sustainable Pest Control
Open Access
Abstract
The advent of RNA interference (RNAi) in 1998, marked by the discovery of gene silencing triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in nematodes, opened a transformative chapter in molecular biologyKeywords
