Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book covers the advanced concepts and creative ideas on the postgenomic tool of RNAi that received the Nobel Prize in 2006. Emphasis was placed on the mechanisms of RNAi, the core machinery and the applications in agriculture. This book covers contributions from academia, industry and Goverment regulatory authorities. Applications to control major important pest insects, as for example western corn rootworm with use of transgenic plant RNAi. But also attention was given to the use of RNAi as a spray (non-transgenic plant approach) or tree-injection. Examples include the control of Colorado potato beetle and treatment of citrus trees to control Asian citrus psyllid. Additionally, the aspect of biosafety and risk assessment were also covered in the book with input from the bioinformatics and risk assessment testing, combined with regulatory input from EPA-USA and EFSA-EU.In summary, the editors believe that this book provides for the first time an invaluable vast source of basic and applied information for a plethora of scientists in academia, industry, and regulatory, as well as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The advent of RNA interference (RNAi) in 1998, marked by the discovery of gene silencing triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in nematodes, opened a transformative chapter in molecular biology. Today, RNAi has matured into an indispensable tool for elucidating gene function, while its potential as a targeted, eco-friendly pest control strategy is reshaping entomological research and agricultural practices. This Special Issue of Insects, dedicated to 'RNAi in Insect Physiology', stands as a testament to the dynamic progress of RNAi research, bridging fundamental insights into insect physiology with innovative applications in pest management. This Special Issue was conceived to capture the full spectrum of RNAi research in insects with a dual focus: advancing our understanding of gene function in insect physiology and accelerating the translation of RNAi into practical pest control solutions. This Special Issue brings together twelve cutting-edge research articles and two insightful review articles, collectively providing a comprehensive overview of RNAi's potential, elucidating the molecular underpinnings of insect development, reproduction, and stress adaptation, while simultaneously demonstrating its viability as a next-generation pest management tool.
