The leafminer fly, <i>Liriomyza trifolii</i>, is an invasive pest of vegetable and horticultural crops in China. In this study, a microinjection method based on dsRNA was developed for RNA interference (RNAi) in <i>L. trifolii</i> using genes encoding vacuolar-ATPase (<i>V-ATPase</i>). Expression analysis indicated that <i>V-ATPase B</i> and <i>V-ATPase D</i> were more highly expressed in <i>L. trifolii</i> adults than in larvae or pupae. Microinjection experiments with <i>dsV-ATPase B</i> and < ...[more]
