Larvae of the sugarcane weevil Sphenophorus levis are major pests of sugarcane plantations in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and no control method has yet proven effective against this insect. Insect control strategies based on RNA interference have been used as an efficient tool for silencing genes. Thus, the aim of the present research project is to develop sugarcane strains employing …
The sugarcane weevil, Sphenophorus levis, is an insect that feeds on the rhizome of sugarcane in its larval stage, boring channels that cause damage and death to the plant. Conventional methods of insect control have not been efficient. The aim of the present study was to generate knowledge on the Biology and Physiology of this insect on the molecular level using a transcriptomic approach…
