Gene Editing and Genetic Control of Hemipteran Pests: Progress, Challenges and PerspectivesI. D. Pacheco, L. L. Walling and P. W. Atkinson, Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 10. 2022.
The origin of the order Hemiptera can be traced to the late Permian Period more than 230 MYA, well before the origin of flowering plants 100 MY later in during the Cretaceous period. Hemipteran species consume their liquid diets using a sucking proboscis; for phytophagous ... |
