A transgenic approach to control hemipteran insects by expressing insecticidal genes under phloem-specific promoters
The first generation transgenic crops used strong constitutive promoters for transgene expression.
However, tissue-specific expression is desirable for more precise targeting of transgenes. Moreover,
piercing/sucking ...
RNA Interference based Approach to Down Regulate Osmoregulators of Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci): Potential Technology for the Control of Whitefly
Over the past decade RNA interference (RNAi) technology has emerged as a successful tool not only for functional genomics, but in planta expression of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that could offer great potential for ...
