Transgenic expression of dsRNA targeting the Pentalonia nigronervosa acetylcholinesterase gene in banana and plantain reduces aphid populations
The banana aphid, Pentalonia nigronervosa, is the sole insect vector of banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), the causal agent of banana bunchy top disease. The aphid acquires and transmits BBTV while feeding on infected banana plants. RNA interference (RNAi) enables the generation of pest and disease-res...
