The effectiveness of RNAi-based gene silencing in H. vigintioctopunctata provides a powerful reverse genetic tool for the functional annotation of its genes. This study demonstrates that HvRPS18 and HvRPL13 represent candidate genes for RNAi-based biological control of H. vigintioctopunctata. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
