More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to the prevention and/or control of infestation by insect pest species. In particular, the invention relates to down-regulation of expression of target genes in insect pests using interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules. Also described are transgenic plants that (i) express or are capable of expressing interfering RNAs of the invention and (ii) are resistant to infestation by insect pest species. Compositions containing the interfering RNAs of the invention are also provided. La presente invención se refiere a la prevención y/o control de infestación de especies de plagas de insectos. En particular, la invención se refiere a la sub-regulación de la expresión de genes objetivo en plagas de insectos que utilizan moléculas de ácido ribonucleico (ARN) interferente. También se describen plantas transgénicas que (i) expresan o son capaces de expresar ARNs interferentes de la invención y (ii) son resistentes a la infestación de especies de plagas de insectos. También se proveen composiciones que contienen los ARN interferentes de la invención.
