ABSTRACT

RNA interference (RNAi) in insects is a gene regulatory process that plays a vital role in the maintenance and in the regulation of host defenses against invading viruses. RNAi is the sequence-specific suppression of gene expression, offers great opportunities for insect science, especially to analyze gene function, manage pest populations and reduce disease pathogens.RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved gene regulatory mechanism that controls the expression of genes at post transcriptional level. The efficacy of RNAi varies among different insect orders and it also depends upon various factors, such as target gene selection, method of dsRNAs delivery, expression of dsRNAs and presence of off-target effects.

Key words: RNAi, dsRNA
