Knockout of the HaREase Gene Improves the Stability of dsRNA and Increases the Sensitivity of Helicoverpa armigera to Bacillus thuringiensis Toxin

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-induced genes are usually related to RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms and are involved in immune-related pathways. In a previous study, we found a lepidopteran-specific nuclease gene REase that was up-regulated by dsRNA and that affected RNAi efficiency in Asian corn bo...
