Development of novel dsRNA delivery systems to optimize RNAi in insect pest control Ghent University
The post-transcriptional gene silencing technique RNA interference (RNAi) is showing great
potential for the development of a new strategy for a safe and specific control of important pest insects; however, the efficacy of RNAi in insects is highly variable.
In this proposal, the applicant will develop novel delivery systems that could enhance the RNAi efficiency in insects by attempting to improve the persistency of the ...
