What Shapes RNA Interference Responsiveness in Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera)? An Evidence-Constrained Multilevel Framework for Experimental Design and Optimisation
Simple Summary Many true bugs (Heteroptera), including several major crop pests, are difficult to control. RNA interference (RNAi) can reduce the activity of a selected gene and is useful for studying insect biology and developing selective pest-control methods. In many experiments, RNAi is effective when double-strand...
