Potential for gene silencing by piwi-interacting RNA in three lepidopterans
The piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is investigated as an alternative, mechanistically distinct gene silencing system in Spodoptera frugiperda, Plutella xylostella, and Cydia pomonella to provide a mechanistic and design framework for next-generation RNA-based biopesticides.
