Evaluating the Effect of RNA Interference of Two Heat Shock Proteins (HSPA1L, HSP90B1) in Inducing Apoptosis in Acyrthosiphon pisum
Author(s): Griffin Davies and James Balthazor*
Acyrthosiphon pisum (pea aphid) is a major pest of Fabaceae (legume) crops, causing direct feeding damage and transmitting plant diseases. Conventional control relies on broad-spectrum insecticides and natural enemies, both of which can harm non-target organisms and ecosystems. RNA interference (RNAi) offers a promising, species-specific alternative by silencing essential genes .. View More»
