Introduction
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool that has emerged as a promising strategy for pest control in agriculture. RNAi is a natural process in which small RNA molecules inhibit gene expression by targeting specific messenger RNAs. This technology has the potential to revolutionize pest management practices by providing a targeted and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. In this thesis, we will explore the use of RNAi for pest control in agriculture, focusing on its potential applications, challenges, and future prospects.
