A nucleic acid expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a dominant negative T3SS protein is disclosed. The nucleic acid expression vector further comprising a cis acting regulatory element capable of driving transcription of the nucleic acid sequence in a plant cell. Moreover, the dominant negative T3SS protein mediates assembly of a dysfunctional needle complex.

The present invention relates to the field of RNA-mediated gene silencing in insect species. The present invention is based, in part, on the inventors' sequencing of genes frominvasive species Bronze bug pest,. In certain aspects, the invention provides Bronze bug nucleic acids, derivatives thereof and the use of such nucleic acids and derivatives as Bronze bug control agents.
