CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Editing of Terpene Synthase Gene Reduces Volatile Emission and Attraction of Hypothenemus hampei to Coffea arabica Fruits
Results suggest that targeted editing of limonene synthase can modulate volatile emissions and alter host-seeking behavior in H. hampei, providing a proof-of-concept for engineering crop plants with reduced pest attraction and offering a complementary, sustainable strategy for pest management in coffee production syste...
