BACKGROUND
The southern green stinkbug, Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an important emerging polyphagous pest infesting soybean in the United States, Brazil and Argentina. The indiscriminate use of synthetic insecticides to control stinkbugs has limited the effectiveness of current management strategies. Alternatively, RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a novel mode of action to...
BACKGROUND
The Neotropical stink bug Euschistus heros is a major pest in soybean fields. Development of highly species‐specific pesticides based on RNA interference (RNAi) could provide a new sustainable and environmentally friendly control strategy.
RESULTS
Here, the potential of RNAi as a pest control tool against E. heros was assessed. First, target gene selection using a microinjection approach...
