RNA interference in the termite Reticulitermes flavipes through ingestion of double-stranded RNA.

Insect biochemistry and molecular biology - 1 Aug 2008

Zhou Xuguo, Wheeler Marsha M, Oi Faith M, Scharf Michael E

Abstract excerpt

RNA interference (RNAi) represents a breakthrough technology for conducting functional genomics research in non-model organisms and for the highly targeted control of insect pests. This study investigated RNAi via voluntary feeding in the economically important pest termite, Reticulitermes flavipes. We used a high-dose double-stranded (ds) RNA feeding approach to silence two termite genes: one encoding an...
