The application of RNAi promotes the development novel approaches toward plant protection in a sustainable way. Genetically modified crops expressing dsRNA have been developed as commercial products with great potential insect pest management. Alternatively, some nontransformative approaches, including foliar spray, irrigation and trunk injection, are favorable actual utilization. In this review, we summarize recent progress successful cases RNAi-based management strategy, explore essential implications possibilities to improve efficiency by delivery through transformative highlight remaining challenges important issues related technology.

The drastic loss of biodiversity has alarmed the public and raised sociopolitical demand for chemical pesticide-free plant production, which is now treated by governments worldwide as a top priority. Given this global challenge, RNAi-based technologies are rapidly evolving promising substitute to conventional pesticides. Primarily, genetically modified (GM) crops expressing double-stranded (ds)RNA-mediating gene silencing foreign transcripts have been developed. However, since cultivation GM RNAi viewed negatively in numerous countries, GM-free exogenous RNA spray applications attract tremendous scientific political interest. sudden rise pesticide alternatives boosted research on sprayable biopesticides, generating significant technological developments advancing potential field near future. Here we review latest advances that could pave way quick lab-to-field transition sprays, which, safe, selective, broadly applicable, cost-effective represent an innovation sustainable crop production. these advances, further discuss limitations, knowledge gaps research, safety concerns regulatory requirements need be considered addressed before sprays can become reliable realistic agricultural approach.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful technology that offers new opportunities for pest control through silencing of genes are essential the survival arthropod pests. The approach relies on sequence-specificity applied double-stranded (ds) can be designed to have very narrow spectrum both target gene product (RNA) as well organism, and thus allowing highly targeted control. Successful RNAi has been reported from number species belonging various orders. Pest may achieved by applying dsRNA foliar sprays. One main concerns related use adverse environmental effects particularly valued non-target species. Arthropods form an important part biodiversity in agricultural landscapes contribute ecosystem services. Consequently, risk assessment (ERA) potential impacts plant protection products arthropods legally required prior their placement market. We describe how problem formulation used set context develop plausible pathways application dsRNA-based could harm species, such those contributing biological current knowledge regarding exposure hazard posed spray reviewed suggestions provided select most suitable test conduct laboratory-based toxicity studies provide robust, reliable interpretable results support ERA.
