Abstract: Disclosed are double stranded RNA molecules that are toxic to coleopteran 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.

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: The present invention relates to the prevention and/or control of infestation by insect pest species. In particular, the invention relates to down-regulation of expression of target genes in insect pests using interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules. Also described are transgenic plants that (i) express or are capable of expressing interfering RNAs of the invention and (ii) are resistant to infestation by insect pest species. Compositions containing the interfering RNAs of the invention are also provided.
