CONTROL OF PLANT PESTS USING RNA MOLECULES

Disclosed are double stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules that are toxic to coleopteran and/or hemipteran insect pests. In particular, interfering RNA molecules capable of interfering with pest insect target genes and that are toxic to the target insect pest are provided. Further, methods of making and us...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are double stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules that are toxic to coleopteran and/or hemipteran insect pests. In particular, interfering RNA molecules capable of interfering with pest insect target genes and that are toxic to the target insect pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example in transgenic plants or as the active ingredient in an insecticidal composition, to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.
