Abstract
Disclosed are dsRNA constructs and methods to control insects via double stranded RNA interference of insect PBAN receptor genes.
Claims3
An isolated double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of a pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide receptor in a cell consisting essentially of sense strand SEQ. ID. NO. 2 with the sense strand being complementary to an antisense strand.
An isolated double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of a pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide receptor in a cell consisting essentially of sense strand SEQ. ID. NO. 4 with the sense strand being complementary to an antisense strand, wherein the double-stranded ribonucleic acid is expressed in a plant cell.
