A first greenhouse application of bacteria-expressed and nanocarrier-delivered RNA pesticide for Myzus persicae control

Zhongzheng Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, a nanocarrier-based transdermal dsRNA delivery system and a bacteria-based hairpin RNA (hpRNA) expression system were used to develop a sprayable RNA pesticide. The greenhouse trial on green peach aphid showed that the RNA pesticide had a certain insecticidal activity, with a total control efficacy of 61% on day 3 and maintained at 50% until the sixth day. This study is the first attempt to apply bacteria-expressed and nanocarrier-delivered RNA pesticides for pest control in a greenhouse, which is beneficial for promoting the development of RNA pesticides.

Transgenic plants expressing immunosuppressive dsRNA improve entomopathogen efficacy against Spodoptera littoralis larvae

Ilaria Di Lelio et al.

Summary: Transgenic plants expressing dsRNA targeting essential insect genes have shown to be effective in controlling pests. In this study, tobacco plants were transformed to produce dsRNA targeting Sl 102 gene involved in the immune response of Spodoptera littoralis larvae. Experimental results demonstrated that larvae reared on these transgenic tobacco lines exhibited decreased gene expression, impaired encapsulation response, and increased susceptibility to insecticide. This approach could potentially reduce the use of insecticides and enhance their efficacy against mature larvae.

Vacuolar (H+)-ATPase subunit c is essential for the survival and systemic RNA interference response in Locusta migratoria

Xuekai Shi et al.

Summary: This study identified and characterized the V-ATPase-c gene in Locusta migratoria and found that it is primarily expressed in the Malpighian tubules. The silencing of LmV-ATPase-c resulted in severe molting defects and impaired RNA interference efficiency in the insect. These findings suggest that LmV-ATPase-c plays a crucial role in cuticle formation and dsRNA escape.

V-ATPase subunit a is required for survival and midgut development of Locusta migratoria

X-J Liu et al.

Summary: The vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is an important gene for survival and midgut development in Locusta migratoria, as demonstrated by differential expression in various tissues and developmental stages, as well as the significant suppression of the gene leading to mortality in injected nymphs. This suggests that LmV-ATPase a could be a potential target for RNAi-based control against locusts.

Nanocarrier-mediated transdermal dsRNA-NPF1 delivery system contributes to pest control via inhibiting feeding behavior in Grapholita molesta

Hongshuang Wei et al.

Summary: This study identified and cloned two genes, NPF1 and NPF2, from Grapholita molesta, revealing the important role of GmolNPF1 in regulating feeding behavior of the pest. Knockdown of GmolNPF1 using RNA interference significantly reduced larval feeding amount and survival rate. The combination of RNAi technology with dsRNA delivery system shows potential application in pest management.

RNA Interference Suppression of v-ATPase B and Juvenile Hormone Binding Protein Genes Through Topically Applied dsRNA on Tomato Leaves: Developing Biopesticides to Control the South American Pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Govindaraju Ramkumar et al.

Summary: The study analyzed RNAi-mediated control on tomato through exogenously applied dsRNA delivery, targeting key genes in the South American pinworm Tuta absoluta. The results showed a significant increase in mortality, reduced leaf damage, and increased feeding deterrence, suggesting that these RNAi products could be effective for controlling this and other lepidopteran pests.

dsRNA-Mediated Pest Management of Tuta absoluta Is Compatible with Its Biological Control Agent Nesidiocoris tenuis

Nomi Sarmah et al.

Summary: The zoophytophagous mirid bug Nesidiocoris tenuis is an efficient predator of the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta. RNA interference targeting the alpha COP gene of N. tenuis showed functional effects, but no significant adverse effects were observed when N. tenuis were exposed to dsRNA targeting the ortholog alpha COP gene of T. absoluta.

Interference Efficiency and Effects of Bacterium-mediated RNAi in the Fall Armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Xiao-Shuang Wan et al.

Summary: RNAi is an effective tool for gene function analysis and environmentally friendly control of pests like Spodoptera frugiperda. The bacterium-mediated RNAi system in S. frugiperda is cost-effective and can induce significant negative effects on growth and survival. Different target genes and delivery methods of dsRNA produce variable efficiency and effects, with a crucial role of chitin digestion and synthesis in wing formation and Hemolin in egg production and embryo development.
