The gene drive transgenic Drosophila suzukii show red fluorescence.
In the quest to control disease-transmitting vectors and agricultural pests, the revolutionary CRISPR-based gene drive emerges as a powerful tool. The development of a novel CRISPR -based homing gene drive system targeting the Tdc2 gene with the previously untested vasa promoter in Drosophila suzukii paves the way for more effective and sustainable pest control strategies.
