RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising alternative strategy for ecologically friendly pest management. However, the identification of RNAi candidate genes is challenging owing to the absence of laboratory strains and the seasonality of most pest species. Tribolium castaneum is a well‐established model, with a strong and robust RNAi response, which can be used as a high‐throughput screening platform...
Transgenic maize plants expressing dsRNA targeting western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) v‐ATPase subunit C mRNA for RNAi provided significant root protection from WCR larval feeding damage in greenhouse assays compared to negative controls. Transcribed hairpin dsRNA in WCR‐resistant maize plants was present as both intact hairpin‐derived dsRNA and plant‐processed siRNA...
