Abstract excerpt
The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, is one of the most destructive agricultural pests and has been widely used as a model system for insect physiology, neurobiology and behavioural research. In the present study, we investigated the effects of RNA interference (RNAi) using two delivery methods for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, namely, injection and feeding, to develop a potential new pest control...
