Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Seema Rana"
- Seema Rana's research primarily focuses on developing alternative pest management strategies for agricultural pests, particularly targeting the Mormon cricket and lepidopteran crop pests, through RNA interference (RNAi) techniques to reduce reliance on chemical insecticides.
- Recent studies include the advancement of RNAi methods for Mormon crickets, which aim to address environmental concerns associated with traditional pest control methods by developing specific double-stranded RNAs that silence essential genes, thereby offering a potential eco-friendly pest management solution.
- Additionally, Rana's work explores the neurodevelopmental implications of genetic modifications in honey bees, emphasizing the broader impacts of genetic research on understanding pest behaviors and communication in the context of agricultural sustainability.
