Plant-mediated gene silencing of V-ATPase to improve Bt cotton resistance against Pink Bollworm

Key Points

• Improved resistance against pink bollworm is observed, indicating a higher efficacy of Bt cotton with gene silencing.
• Gene silencing of V-ATPase enhances the defense systems in Bt cotton, leading to positive outcomes in pest management.
• In-depth analysis focuses on plant-mediated gene silencing as an innovative method to bolster crop protection.
• The findings suggest that gene silencing strategies could be a promising avenue for sustainable agricultural practices.
