  • GHO/SEC24B2 AND SEC24B1 NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES TO CONTROL COLEOPTERAN AND HEMIPTERAN PESTS
    Publication number: 20160186203
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of insect pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in insect pests, including coleopteran and/or hemipteran pests. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of insect pests, and the plant cells and plants obtained thereby.

  • dsRNA delivery composition and methods of use
    Patent number: 8530440
    Abstract: The present invention provides for compositions comprising a cucurbitacin bait for stimulating insect feeding and a dsRNA—such as for eliciting RNAi mediated gene silencing in an insect. The present invention also provides for methods of delivering a dsRNA molecule to an insect, inhibiting protein expression in an insect, and killing an insect by providing a dsRNA molecule.
