Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for controlling pest infestation using double stranded RNA molecules. The invention provides methods for making transgenic plants that express the double stranded RNA molecules, as well as pesticidal agents and commodity products produced by the inventive plants.
Claims23
An isolated double stranded RNA molecule comprising annealed complementary strands, wherein at least one of said strands comprises a polyribonucleotide
- fully complementary to at least 21 contiguous nucleotides of a target gene represented by SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or 168
- wherein ingestion of said double stranded RNA molecule by a plant insect pest inhibits the growth of said insect pest.
