[0110] The first embodiment, the determination of the target sequence of the two-spot firefly beetle
[0111] 1. Extraction of total RNA from the two-spot firefly beetle
[0112] Using the newly hatched instars of the two-spotted firefly beetle as materials, the RNA was extracted by the conventional Trizol method, purified by conventional methods, and treated with DNase to obtain a concentration of ≥300ng / μL, a total amount of ≥6μg, and OD 260 / 280 1.8-2.2 for total RNA samples.
[0113] 2. Isolation of mRNA and synthesis of cDNA
[0114] The mRNA with polyA was isolated with oligo-dT magnetic beads, and then the first-strand cDNA was synthesized with random hexamers and Invitrogen's Superscript II reverse transcriptase kit.
[0115] 3. Screen out a target gene
[0116] From the analysis of the larval library, the expression level is moderate, and it may be involved in the screening of important metabolic pathways. A target gene c35112 of the two-spotted firefly beetle was s...

[0121] The second embodiment, the acquisition of dsRNA
[0122] Referring to the instructions of MEGAscript RNAi Kit from thermoFisher Company, dsRNAs of the above 18 target sequences were synthesized respectively, i.e. r1-dsRNA to r18-dsRNA; and the product size was detected by agarose electrophoresis with a mass concentration of 1%. ) to measure the concentrations of the above-mentioned r1-dsRNA to r18-dsRNA respectively.

[0123] The third embodiment, the ability of feeding dsRNA to identify the control ability of the two-spot firefly beetle
[0124] The isolated and purified r1-dsRNA to r18-dsRNA were mixed and added to the feed at the ratio of 50 μg / g and 5 μg / g feed respectively (feed formula refers to Development of an artificial diet for the westerncorn rootworm, Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 105: 1–11,2002.), to obtain c35112-r1-50 to c35112-r18-50 feed and c35112-r1-5 to c35112-r18-5 feed respectively, wherein the control group feed CK added irrelevant dsRNA (SEQ ID NO :29), the other conditions are exactly the same. Use the prepared feed to feed the newly hatched larvae of the two-spotted firefly beetle, and put 30 newly hatched larvae with a hatching time of no more than 24 hours in each dish, and the feed mixed with dsRNA is changed every two days and fed until the 12th day , count insect mortality every two days from the beginning of feeding, and measure the expression of t...
