Abstract
This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of coleopteran pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in coleopteran pests. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of coleopteran pests, and the plant cells and plants obtained thereby.
Claims23
A double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) molecule comprising:
- a first polyribonucleotide comprising at least 19 contiguous nucleotides of the reference polyribonucleotide encoded by a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:6;
- and
- a second polyribonucleotide hybridized to the first polyribonucleotide.
A deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule comprising a polynucleotide that is operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant cell,
- wherein the polynucleotide comprises a first nucleotide sequence comprising at least 19 contiguous nucleotides of a reference nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:6 and the complements thereof.
