RNA interference (RNAi) : A novel strategy in insect pest management
There is a need for identifying some additional effective pest management strategies, which could also augment integrated pest management (IPM). In this scenario, RNA interference (RNAi) offers a great deal of hope in successful mitigation of various insect pests. RNAi has been increasingly used in establishing the gene functions in various spheres of research in entomology after its discovery in the free-living nematode, Caenorhaditis elegans.
