Loss-of-function in testis-specific serine/threonine protein kinase (TSSKs) triggers male infertility in an invasive moth

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Genetic control system at molecular level presents a promising and eco-friendly strategy for the management of pest and insect-transmitted diseases. Although considerable advancements have been achieved in gene drive applications targeting mosquitoes, endeavors to combat agricultural pests have been somewhat restricted. Here, we identified that the testis-specific serine/threonine kinas...
