Harnessing next-generation molecular technologies for precision control of Tuta absoluta and Helicoverpa armigera in tomato.
Review in Functional & integrative genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most significant vegetable crops cultivated around the world. Among biotic stresses, production of tomato is severely affected by insect pests mainly by tomato fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) and tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta). Traditionally to manage the destruction caused by insect pests, farmers mostly used chemical insecticides and by different cultural practices. Use of chemical pesticides is of great concern as it is harmful for the environment and other living beings and with the passage of time, insects develop resistance against pesticides. Latest progress in molecular biology enables scientists to develop next generation pest management approaches that are more precise, environment friendly and sustainable. This review describes nascent molecular approaches to manage tomato pests, like transgenic expression of insecticidal proteins such as of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins, RNAi (RNA interference) strategies including HIGS and SIGS, genome editing by CRISPR-Cas, protease inhibitors and male sterility. These strategies not only enhance resistance of crop against pests but also are safe for environment and other organisms. This review also addresses the combination of different molecular approaches and pyramiding of genes involve in delaying resistance. Overall, these advanced molecular approaches providing sustainable resistance against insect pests have been discussed.
