  • PARENTAL RNAI SUPPRESSION OF CHROMATIN REMODELING GENES TO CONTROL COLEOPTERAN PESTS
    Publication number: 20180245082
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of coleopteran pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in coleopteran pests. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of coleopteran pests, and the plant cells and plants obtained thereby.
