This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of hemipteran pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in hemipteran pests. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of hemipteran pests, and the plant cells and plants obtained thereby.

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.

The present invention provides for compositions comprising a cucurbitacin bait for stimulating insect feeding and a dsRNA&#x2014;such as for eliciting RNAi mediated gene silencing in an insect. The present invention also provides for methods of delivering a dsRNA molecule to an insect, inhibiting protein expression in an insect, and killing an insect by providing a dsRNA molecule.
