DsRNA as pathogen-associated molecular pattern in innate immunity and multiple functions of the RNAi machinery complicate the use of RNAi in pest control
{{output}}
In contrast to mammals, insects possess a separate machinery for processing of long dsRNAs into siRNAs for the cleavage of viral RNAs. The process of RNAi is considered very efficient in all insects once the delivery in the cytoplasm occurs such as during RNA ... ...
