Fu G.L., 2024, Genetic insights into sitophilus oryzae: implications for pest management in rice, Molecular Entomology, 15(5): 192-199 (doi: 10.5376/me.2024.15.0023)

This study explores the genetic basis of Aspergillus oryzae, utilizing advances in genomics and molecular biology to understand its biological and evolutionary adaptability, revealing insights into genes related to resistance, reproduction, and survival as targets for innovative pest management strategies. It emphasizes the integration of genetic tools such as RNA interference (RNAi) and gene editing techniques into existing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) frameworks, as well as case studies demonstrating the practical application of these tools in different regions. The study discusses challenges, including ethical considerations, regulatory barriers, and the need for public participation, and highlights the importance of international cooperation and strong policy-making. This study aims to emphasize the potential of genetic insights to revolutionize pest management and contribute to sustainable agriculture and global food security.
