Host generated siRNAs attenuate expression of serine protease gene in Myzus persicae.

BACKGROUND: Sap sucking hemipteran aphids damage diverse crop species. Although delivery of ds-RNA or siRNA through microinjection/feeding has been demonstrated, the efficacy of host-mediated delivery of aphid-specific dsRNA in developing aphid resistance has been far from being elucidated. METHODOL...
