Environmental RNA interference in two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, reveals dsRNA processing requirements for efficient RNAi response

Nicolas Bensoussan, Sameer Dixit, Midori Tabara…·Vojislava Grbić

This study identifies dsRNA processing requirements for efficient RNAi in Tetranychus urticae, showing that long dsRNA and membrane transport genes are critical for RNAi response.
