Enhanced whitefly resistance in transgenic tobacco plants expressing double stranded RNA of v-ATPase A gene.
BackgroundExpression of double strand RNA (dsRNA) designed against important insect genes in transgenic plants have been shown to give protection against pests through RNA interference (RNAi), thus opening the way for a new generation of insect-resistant crops.We have earlier compared the efficacy of dsRNAs/siRNAs, against a number of target genes,
