  • Control of hemipteran pests using RNA molecules
    Patent number: 11439152
    Abstract: Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to hemipteran insects. 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2022
    Assignee: Syngenta Participations AG
    Inventors: Lies Degrave, Myriam Beghyn, Yann Naudet, Lien De Schrijver, Kevin V Donohue
