RNA interference targeting trehalase genes causes developmental malformations and increased mortality in H. vigintioctopunctata, suggesting pest management strategies.
These results provide insight into the stage-dependent roles of trehalase in maintaining carbohydrate homeostasis and chitin-associated development in this pest and highlight HvTre1-1 and HvTre1-5 as promising RNAi targets for managing H. vigintioctopunctata.
