Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to hemipteran insects. In particular, interfering RNA molecules capable of interfering with pest target genes and that are toxic to the target pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example in transgenic plants or as the active ingredient in a composition, to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.

Control of hemipteran pests using RNA molecules

Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to coleopteran insects. In particular, interfering RNA molecules capable of interfering with pest target genes and that are toxic to the target pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example in transgenic plants or as the active ingredient in a composition, to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.

Control of coleopteran pests using RNA molecules

The present invention is drawn to a nucleic acid sequence which confers expression of the insecticidal proteins mCry3A and eCry3.1Ab when introduced into a cell.

Nucleic acid molecule for conferring insecticidal properties in plants

Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to coleopteran insects. In particular, interfering RNA molecules that capable of interfering with pest histone genes and that are toxic to the target pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example in transgenic plants to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.

Biological control of coleopteran pests

Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to coleopteran insects. In particular, dsRNA molecules that capable of interfering with pest IAP genes and that are toxic to the target pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example in transgenic plants to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.
