Characterisation of gene function using double stranded RNA inhibition

A plant cell comprises a DNA sequence from a plant pest which is critical for the plant pest's survival, growth, proliferation or reproduction. The DNA sequence or a fragment thereof is cloned in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to promoter(s) such that said promoter(s) is capable o...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A plant cell comprises a DNA sequence from a plant pest which is critical for the plant pest's survival, growth, proliferation or reproduction. The DNA sequence or a fragment thereof is cloned in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to promoter(s) such that said promoter(s) is capable of initiating transcription of said DNA sequence to dsRNA upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to said promoter(s). The plant pest may be a plant pest that feeds on the plant. Also provided is a plant comprising the plant cell. Also provided is a method of producing a plant resistant to plant pest infestation, which method comprises identifying a DNA sequence from said pest which is critical for its survival, growth, proliferation, or reproduction. The method also comprises cloning the DNA sequence or a fragment thereof in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to promoter(s) such that said promoter(s) is capable of initiating transcription of said DNA sequence to dsRNA upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to said promoter(s). The method also comprises introducing said vector into the plant.
