What is it about?

Regulatory Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs can bind complementary RNA or DNA sequences and recruit chromatin remodelers to selectively modulate gene expression.

Why is it important?

Genome sequencing and transcriptomics technologies are now being used to reveal hidden associations among Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs and distinct biological mechanisms. It is thought that ncRNAs could play important roles in both development and insecticide resistance.

Perspectives

This review will highlight recent insights into the roles of Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs in Plutella xylostella and related lepidopterans, and will outline genetic engineering technologies which might be used to design efficient ncRNA-based pest control strategies
