The three DDX RNA helicases (LsDDX6, LsDDX47, and LsDDX51) are essential for both survivorship and reproduction in L. striatellus. Considering a total number of 27 DDXs identified in L. striatellus, they might serve as promising candidates for application in RNAi-based control of this destructive pest. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
