Disclosed are double stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules that are toxic to insect pests. In particular, interfering RNA molecules capable of modulating expression of a pest insect target gene and that are toxic to the insect pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example as the active ingredient in an insecticidal composition or in a transgenic plant, to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.

Control of plant pests using RNA molecules

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.
