Abstract:RNA interference (RNAi)‐based gene silencing is a feasible and sustainable technology for the management of hemipteran pests by double‐stranded RNA involvement, including small‐interfering RNA, microRNA, and Piwi‐interacting RNA (piRNA) pathways, that may help to decrease the usage of chemical insecticides. However, only a few data are available on the somatic piRNAs and their biogenesis genes in Riptortus pedestris, which serves as a significant pest of soybean (Glycine max). In this study, two family members… Show more
