Claims
The present invention relates to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, compounds comprising dsRNA molecules, a method for obtaining dsRNA molecules, and methods for pest control in soybean-corn production systems. The dsRNA compound of the present invention exhibits an efficient and specific mode of action against insect pests due to its biotargeted nature, particularly in the control of brown stink bugs (Euschistus heros) and green-bellied stink bugs (Diceraeus melacanthus). Furthermore, it is sustainable, naturally non-toxic, non-allergenic, and non-virulent.
1. dsRNA molecules characterized in that they contain the synthetic sequences for dsRNA expression that activate the silencing of transcripts of selected genes of Trehalase II (TrehaII), Trehalose Transporter II (TreTran II), Transcription Initiation Factor TFIID Subunit 1 (TAF1) or at least one concatemer comprising a combination of such sequences.
