Influence of the ‘painless’ TRP channel on temperature‐dependent escape and humidity‐related pupation in Bactrocera dorsalis larvae

Our findings provide new insights into the role of environmental factors in B. dorsalis behavior and highlight Bdorpainless as a potential molecular target for pest control. For example, RNA-based biopesticides targeting Bdorpainless could impair larvae's environmental adaptability, offering a novel pest management approach. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
