    摘要: 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.

    摘要: There is provided a method of identifying DNA responsible for conferring a particular phenotype in a cell which method comprises a) constructing a cDNA or genomic library of the DNA of said cell in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to a promoter(s) capable of initiating transcription of said cDNA or DNA to double stranded (ds) RNA upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to said promoter(s), b) introducing said library into one or more of said cells comprising said transcription factor, and c) identifying and isolating a particular phenotype of said cell comprising said library and identifying the DNA or cDNA fragment from said library responsible for conferring said phenotype. Using this technique it is also possible to assign function to a known DNA sequence by a) identifying a homologue(s) of said DNA sequence in a cell, b) isolating the relevant DNA homologue(s) or a fragment thereof from said cell, c) cloning said homologue or fragment thereof into an appropriate vector in an orientation relative to a suitable promoter(s) capable of initiating transcription of dsRNA from said DNA homologue or fragment upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to said promoter(s) and d) introducing said vector into said cell from step a) comprising said transcription factor.

    摘要: Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to flea beetles, particularly the flea beetle species Psylliodes chrysocephala, Phyllotreta nemorum, Phyllotreta striolata, Phyllotreta armoraciae, Phyllotreta atra and Phyllotreta cruciferae. 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.
