Abstract:
Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a destructive pest causing tremendous economic losses. The present study was, aimed at validation of genetic targets for genetic biological control of this notorious pest via CRISPR/Cas 9 mediated genome editing. Gene white (2040 bp) crucial for melanin pigmentation and cuticle sclerotization was cloned. Further, off-target minimised guide RNA for white (sg 360) was synthesised in vitro. The designed gRNAs were used for restriction assay to check the cleavage efficiency of sgRNAs.
