title: Perspectives of RNAi, CUADb and CRISPR/Cas as Innovative Antisense Technologies for Insect Pest Control: From Discovery to Practice
abstract: Pest management is undergoing a transformative shift with the development of the cutting-edge antisense technologies: RNA interference (RNAi), contact unmodified antisense DNA biotechnology (CUADb), and the CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR/Cas). These approaches function by facilitating sequence-specific pairing of nucleic acids followed by nuclease-mediated cleavage, offering exceptional precision for targeted pest control. While RNA-guided mechanisms such as RNAi and CRISPR/Cas were initiall
