Chitin metabolism as a potential target for RNAi‐based control of the forestry pest Hyblaea puera Cramer (Lepidoptera: Hyblaeidae)

BACKGROUND Hyblaea puera, commonly known as the teak defoliator, is a serious pest in teak plantations. Despite the availability of control measures, this pest causes losses in yield and quality of timber through voracious feeding. RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising strategy for the control of t...
