Spray-induced and nanocarrier-delivered gene silencing system targeting juvenile hormone receptor components: potential application as fertility inhibitors for Adelphocoris suturalis management.

Our results show that spray-induced and nanocarrier-delivered gene silencing (SI-NDGS) system targeting JH signal genes effectively impaired oviposition, thus developing a novel RNA fertility inhibitor to control Adelphocoris suturalis populations. These results give new perspective on pest management and suggest broad prospects for field applications. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
