Journal ArticleDOI

RNA interference in Lepidoptera: An overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design

Olle Terenius, +78 more
TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Insights into Peritrophic Matrix Synthesis, Architecture, and Function

TL;DR: This review has integrated recent structural and functional information to create a holistic model for the peritrophic matrix, and shows how this information may generate novel technologies for use in insect pest management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parasitoids, predators and PCR : the use of diagnostic molecular markers in biological control of Arthropods

TL;DR: Research that has used PCR‐based techniques for parasitoid and predator/prey identification and detection is reviewed, and these studies are placed in the context of their contributions to biological control of arthropods.
Book ChapterDOI

Grasshoppers and locusts

TL;DR: This chapter discusses Grasshoppers and locusts, a group of insects that have a tremendous impact on agricultural production throughout the world and are referred to collectively by the common name “acridoids.”
Journal ArticleDOI

A holistic approach for determining the entomopathogenic potential of Bacillus thuringiensis strains

TL;DR: The results show that combining crystal protein analysis with a genetic approach is a highly complementary and powerful way to assess the potential of B. thuringiensis isolates for new insecticidal genes and specificities.
