Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology. It specifically relates to an insect chitin synthase 1A gene fragment and its dsRNA and the application of the dsRNA in killing pests. Background technique
[0002] The damage caused by agricultural pests is an important factor restricting agricultural production in my country. Long-term application of chemical insecticides leads to a series of problems: 1) Insects become resistant to insecticides, the dosage of pesticides increases, and the cost of control increases; 2) Pesticide residues lead to serious environmental pollution; 3) Has a greater impact on non-target organisms. Existing biopesticides are widely used in pest control, but the insecticidal time is long and the effect is slow.
[0003] RNA interference (RNAi) is a specific post-transcriptional gene silencing phenomenon caused by double-stranded RNA molecules, which won the Nobel Prize in 2006. The discovery of RNAi not only pro...
