A dsRNA-degrading nuclease (dsRNase2) limits RNAi efficiency in the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis)

Yun-He Fan et al.

Summary: The study identified four dsRNase genes from the Asian corn borer transcriptome database, with OfdsRNase2 exclusively expressed in the midgut of larvae. It was found that OfdsRNase2 contributes to low RNAi efficiency in larvae by degrading dsRNA, confirmed through RNAi-of-RNAi experiments and in vitro luciferase assays.

Silencing of Double-Stranded Ribonuclease Improves Oral RNAi Efficacy in Southern Green Stinkbug Nezara viridula

Rohit Sharma et al.

Summary: RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism found in all eukaryotes, but efficacy varies among different insect orders. The degradation of double-stranded RNA by a nuclease protein limits RNAi efficacy in insects like the southern green stinkbug. Silencing this nuclease can enhance RNAi efficacy, providing potential for improved pest control strategies.

Identification and functional analysis of dsRNases in spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii

June-Sun Yoon et al.

Summary: RNAi efficiency varies among insect species, with some Coleoptera species more receptive to RNA interference. The presence of dsRNA-degrading enzymes in the gut of spotted-wing Drosophila was identified, along with two dsRNase genes highly expressed in the gut during larval and adult stages. The specific tissue and developmental patterns of dsRNases enhance the understanding of RNAi application for managing D. suzukii.

Double-Stranded RNA-Degrading Enzymes Reduce the Efficiency of RNA Interference in Plutella xylostella

Jin-Zhi Chen et al.

Summary: Efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) varies greatly among different species, with dsRNA stability being a crucial factor. The low and unstable RNAi efficiency in diamondback moths is primarily attributed to dsRNA degradation by dsRNases. Identifying and understanding the role of dsRNases in the RNAi process provides a basis for potential control strategies against diamondback moths in the future.
