  • INACTIVATED MICROORGANISMS CONTAINING DOUBLE -STRAND RNA MOLECULES (DSRNA), THEIR USE AS PESTICIDES AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION
    Publication number: 20130011372
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new group of pesticides consisting of inactivated microorganisms containing double-strand RNA molecules (dsRNA), corresponding to receptor genes coupled with G proteins (GPCR) whose functioning is vital for phytophagous invertebrates (insects, mites and molluscs) or for infesting or in any case harmful organisms for the health of human beings and domestic animals, and to a method for the preparation of said microorganisms.

  • METHOD TO OBTAIN TRANSGENIC PLANTS RESISTANT TO PHYTOPATHOGEN ATTACK BASED ON RNA INTERFERENCE (RNA)
    Publication number: 20110150839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to obtain transgenic plants resistant to the attack of phytopathogens (i.e. parasites and phytophages) based on RNA interference, which contemplates the expression of double strand RNA (dsRNA) in the plant tissues, suitable for inhibiting the functionality of a GPCR receptor, whose functioning is vital for fungi, herbivorous insects or phytopathogenic nematodes.
