Abstract: The citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri, is an important plant pest with a very broad plant host range. P. citri is a phloem feeder and loss of plant vigor and stunting are characteristic symptoms induced on a range of host plants, but P. citri also reduces fruit quality and causes fruit drop leading to significant yield reductions. Better strategies for managing this pest are greatly needed. RNA interference (RNAi) is an emerging tool for functional genomics studies and is being investigated as a practical too… Show more

“…51 Similar approaches were applied in attempts to induce RNAi effects in N. benthamiana plants against the citrus mealybug (Planococcus citri), again by using recombinant TMV. 50 The results obtained from that study showed mortality of adult insects and dramatic reduced fecundity of P. citri after feeding on plants infected by the corresponding recombinant TMV 50 . These examples show experimentally the potential for using plant viruses to deliver RNAi inducers via non-transgenic plants, but obviously many plant viruses themselves are pathogens and this cure could be worse than the cause.…”

“…Recent studies have demonstrated the role of important gene targets such as actin and V-ATPase in mealybugs and psyllids. 44,50,51 Similarly, insect metamorphosis can be influenced by different classes and levels of juvenile hormones (JHs); the levels of JHs in turn can be influenced by JH metabolic enzymes (juvenile hormone esterase, JHE; juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase, JHEH; juvenile hormone acid methyl transferase, JHAMT). Some of the recent studies in Tribolium showed enhanced RNAi effects when the targets were either juvenile hormone 52,53 or juvenile hormone acid methyl transferase.…”
