CRISPR-Cas9-Based Genome Editing in the Silverleaf Whitefly ().

cryptic species Middle East-Asia Minor I (MEAM1) is a serious agricultural polyphagous insect pest and vector of numerous plant viruses, causing major worldwide economic losses. control is limited by lack of robust gene editing tools. Gene editing is difficult in due to small embryos that are technically challenging to inject and which have high mortality post injection.
