RNA interference (RNAi) represents a genetic breakthrough in crop protection, enabling precise, sequence-specific silencing of essential pest genes via double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Innovations such as nanoparticle-based delivery, host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), and spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) have transformed RNAi into a practical, field-ready technology. Integration with multi-omics and computational biology accelerates target discovery and enhances specificity and scalability. Beyond pest management, RNAi applications extend to vector control and pollinator protection, exemplifying One Health principles. RNAi-based pesticides therefore, redefine sustainable agriculture through molecular precision and cross-sectoral genetic innovation.PMID:41798691 | PMC:PMC12963667 | DOI:10.1002/ggn2.202500063
