Abstract: Substituted imidazole and substituted pyrazole compounds and compositions derived therefrom can be useful in controlling insect pests. Suitable imidazole compounds can be analogues of 2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole, wherein the C-2 phenyl group bears at least one substitution, the C-4 and C-5 phenyl groups are optionally substituted, and N-1 is unsubstituted. Suitable pyrazole compounds can bear a 1,3,4-substitution pattern, with an optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted alkyl group being present at N-1, an optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl group being present at C-3, and a secondary amide group being present at C-4. These compounds and compositions derived therefrom can be administered to a plant, seed, soil or insect to control a variety of insect pests.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of controlling insect pests, in particular Leptinotarsa spp. which infest crop plants, and methods of providing plants resistant to such pests. Also disclosed are polynucleotides and recombinant DNA molecules and constructs useful in such methods, insecticidal compositions such as topical sprays containing insecticidal double-stranded RNAs, and solanaceous plants with improved resistance to infestation by Leptinotarsa spp. Further disclosed are methods of selecting target genes for RNAi-mediated silencing and control of Leptinotarsa spp.
