Abstract: Disclosed are double stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules that are toxic to coleopteran and/or hemipteran insect pests. In particular, interfering RNA molecules capable of interfering with pest insect target genes and that are toxic to the target insect pest are provided. Further, methods of making and using the interfering RNA, for example in transgenic plants or as the active ingredient in an insecticidal composition, to confer protection from insect damage are disclosed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to pollen beetles, particularly the pollen beetle Meligethes aeneus. 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.
