Singh, S., Rahangdale, S., Pandita, S., Singh, M., Saxena, G., Jain, G., & Verma, P.C. 2025 Identification of potential RNAi targets for cotton mealybug (Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley) management. The Protein Journal 1-19
Keywords:
Notes: This pioneering study provides the first proteome data for four different developmental stages of the cotton mealybug. This is also the first report targeting the Psfer (TRINITY_DN17055_c1_g1_i1) gene for insect pest management in the Pseudococcidae family. The investigation proposes a potential alternative, eco-friendly strategy for managing cotton mealybug populations and related pests. Furthermore, this study provides valuable insights into the proteome of the cotton mealybug and Hemiptera, offering avenues for proteome-based identification of RNAi targets for pest management and crop improvement. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10930-025-10269-6
