Reduced uptake through clathrin down-regulation is associated with resistance to dsRNA in a population of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, Say).

Biopesticides based on a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) activating the RNA-interference (RNAi) pathway hold the potential to revolutionize pest control by enabling species-specific silencing of vital genes in target insects. Information on mechanisms an…
