This paper demonstrates that simultaneous silencing of intestinal nucleases and a vital gene via dsRNA feeding significantly improves RNAi efficiency and mortality in Mediterranean fruit fly adults.

The paper shows that PBAP chromatin remodeler subunits BAP170 and SAYP mediate enhancer-driven transcription in Drosophila by recruiting the PBAP complex to promoters.

The paper identifies a Y-linked gene, MoY, essential for male sex determination in medflies and shows its conservation across multiple fruit fly species, enabling potential genetic control strategies.
