Problems solved by technology

[0004] So far, RNAi induced by dsRNA has been widely used to study the function of insect genes, but there are very few studies on mites (Khila, 2007; Campbell, 2010), mainly because mites are small (the body is mostly in 1 below mm), it is difficult to operate using RNAi molecular technology

Embodiment 1

[0056] 1. Cloning method of AK gene fragment:

[0057] (1) Get 100-150 spider mites, and use the TRIzol method to extract total RNA;

[0058] (2) Synthesizing the first strand of cDNA;

[0059] (3) The sequence of the gene fragment was obtained from the transcriptome of the spider mite, and after homology comparison at http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / , it was predicted to be the AK gene, and P1 and P1 were designed using Primer premier 5.0 software. P2, amplified by RT-PCR method;

[0060] Upstream primer (P1): 5'GCGACTTGTGAACCTG 3' (SEQ ID NO.2),

[0061] Downstream primer (P2): 5'TCTGCTGACGCTGAAA 3' (SEQ ID NO.3);

[0062] The PCR reaction program was: denaturation at 94°C for 5 min, 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at 56°C, 1 min at 72°C, 32 cycles, and extension at 72°C.

[0063] PCR reaction system (25μL):

[0064]

[0065] (4) The PCR product is separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the target DNA fragment is recovered;

[0066] (5) Insert the recovered target fragment ...

Embodiment 2

[0070] Example 2. Construction of recombinant plasmid vector and expression of dsRNA

[0071] (1) Extract the recombinant plasmid PMD18-T-AK cloned in the first aspect of the present invention, and perform double digestion with HindIII and SacII to obtain two cohesive ends.

[0072] (2) The digestion product is separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the target DNA fragment is recovered.

[0073] (3) The L4440 plasmid was also double digested with HindIII and SacII to obtain the same sticky end as in (1).

[0074] (4) The digested product is separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the target DNA fragment is recovered as a carrier.

[0075] (5) Ligate the target fragment obtained in (2) and the L4440 plasmid vector fragment obtained in (4) with T4 DNA ligase, transform into Escherichia coli HT115, and spread on the double antibody LB plate containing (Amp+Tet), 37°C Cultivate overnight;

[0076] (6) Pick a single colony, inoculate it in 2ml LB medium (Amp+Tet), c...

Embodiment 3

[0081] Embodiment 3.dsRNA spot method

[0082] (1) Cut the double-sided tape into 2cm length and stick it on one end of the glass slide.

[0083] (2) Select a healthy female adult mite, gently pick it up with a small brush, and stick its back on the adhesive tape, and be careful not to stick the feet, pedicles and mouthparts.

[0084] Stick 30 heads on each slide and arrange them in three rows, then place the slides in a clean, non-toxic and moist tray, and place them in an incubator at 28±1°C.

[0085] (3) After 0.5 hours, pick out inactive and dead individuals under a binocular dissecting microscope and make up 30 for use;

[0086] (4) Use a 2.5 μL pipette gun to drop an appropriate amount of dsRNA onto the back of each worm body under a stereo microscope.

[0087] (5) Death standard: lightly touch the body of the mite with a small brush, and the person whose appendages do not move is considered dead.

[0088] (6) Feed continuously for 48 hours, count the mortality rate e...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of a biotechnology, specifically to a method for controlling leaf mites by silencing an energy metabolism gene. The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: leaf mite lethal gene AK is selected as an RNAi target gene; and the RNAi target gene is connected to a plasmid vector L4440 and is transformed to escherichia coli HT115 so as to obtain a bacterial strain for expression of AK gene dsRNA. The method is an important supplement for a leaf mite control method by mainly using a pesticide. By the RNAi technology, expression of the energy metabolism gene in leaf mites is interfered. The method provides a technical support for controlling leaf mites.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural biotechnology; more specifically, the present invention relates to a target gene and dsRNA thereof based on RNAi technology for preventing and controlling agricultural pest mite, and describes a method for synthesizing the target gene into a double-stranded RNA preparation and directly applying it to the control of agricultural pest mite . technical background [0002] In my country, there is currently no effective control method for agricultural pest mites, and spraying insecticides is still the main control method. The indiscriminate application of highly toxic and high-residue pesticides has not only led to the decline in the quality of crop products, the increase in the resistance of pest mites, but also endangered people's lives and health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop safe, effective and new strategies to control the harm of pest mite populations. [0003] The phenomenon of RNA...
