Transcriptomic analysis of Sitophilus zeamais in response to limonene fumigation.

In this study, candidate genes affected by limonene treatment in Sitophilus zeamais were identified. These findings provided insights into the systemic metabolic response of Sitophilus zeamais to limonene and established a basis for the development of limonene as a botanical pesticide for the control of stored-product pests. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
