Using gene silencing (RNA interference) techniques to produce safe insecticidal compounds

Using gene silencing (RNA interference) techniques to produce safe insecticidal compoundsRNA interference (RNAi) is a natural defense mechanism in organisms that detects and neutralizes foreign genetic materials, particularly viral RNA. This process involves the creation of single stranded micro RNAs that target and inhibit complementary messenger RNA (mRNA), thus halting gene expression. The discovery that external double stranded RNA molecules can trigger RNAi has led to significant interest in academic and industrial circles, resulting
