Abstract

RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene-silencing mechanism extensively studied in invertebrates. It involves introducing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to silence specific genes and observe phenotypic effects. RNAi has revolutionized insect science research by enabling the investigation of gene function and novel approaches in pest management. With the development of the omics technology, more and more genes have been screened and used for research and production. The target genes are typically those essential for the survival, growth, development, or specific biological processes. This comprehensive review covers advancements in target genes and signaling pathways across various insect orders, providing insights into genetic functions and potential candidates for pest control strategies.

害虫控制中的 RNAi 目标基因：全面概述

RNA 干扰（RNAi）是一种在无脊椎动物中被广泛研究的基因沉默机制。它通过引入双链 RNA（dsRNA）来沉默特定基因并观察表型效应。RNAi 使研究基因功能和害虫管理新方法成为可能，从而彻底改变了昆虫科学研究。随着全息技术的发展，越来越多的基因被筛选出来并用于研究和生产。目标基因通常是那些对生存、生长、发育或特定生物过程至关重要的基因。本综述涵盖了不同昆虫纲的目标基因和信号通路的研究进展，为害虫控制策略的基因功能和潜在候选基因提供了深入的见解。

期刊介绍： Its scope covers all aspects of basic and applied research dealing with insects and more broadly with arthropods inhabiting wild, agricultural and/or urban habitats. The journal also considers research integrating various disciplines and issues within the broad field of entomology and ecology. Entomologia Generalis publishes high quality research articles on advances in knowledge on the ecology and biology of arthropods, as well as on their importance for key ecosystems services, e.g. as biological control and pollination. The journal devotes special attention to contributions providing significant advances (i) on the fundamental knowledge and on sustainable control strategies of arthropod pests (including of stored products) and vectors of diseases, (ii) on the biology and ecology of beneficial arthropods, (iii) on the spread and impact of invasive pests, and (iv) on potential side effects of pest management methods. Entomologia Generalis welcomes review articles on significant developments in the field of entomology. These are usually invited by the editorial board, but proposals may be sent to the Editor-in-Chief for preliminary assessment by the editorial board before formal submission to the journal. The journal also considers comments on papers published in Entomologia Generalis, as well as short notes on topics that are of broader interest.
