Disruption of Spodoptera exigua larval development by silencing chitin synthase gene A with RNA interference.

Bulletin of entomological research - 1 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for rapidly analyzing gene functions. However, little is known about the possible use of dsRNA/siRNA as a pest control method. Here, we demonstrate that dsRNA/siRNA can induce the silence of chitin synthase gene A (CHSA), which is an important gene for the growth and development of cuticles and trachea in beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua. Based on the in vitro RNAi...
