An RNAi-Based Vulnerability in the White-Backed Planthopper: Silencing SfHSP70-8 Impairs Thermotolerance and Insecticide Susceptibility in a Key Rice Pest
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) serves as a critical molecular chaperone governing environmental stress responses in insects. This study aimed to characterize the expression pattern of SfHSP70-8 and determine its functional role in thermotolerance and insecticide susceptibility in the white-backed planthopper, Sogatella...
