This invention belongs to the field of
biotechnology, specifically relating to the
acetylcholine receptor of the root-knot
nematode *
Eupolyphaga sinensis*. unc38 Genes, their dsRNAs, and applications. To provide novel target genes for the control of *
Eriocheir sinensis* root-knot
nematode, this invention is based on the *
Eriocheir sinensis*
acetylcholine receptor... unc38
Gene SEQ ID NO:1 was used to design and synthesize
gene fragment SEQ ID NO:5 and the corresponding dsRNA. The synthesized dsRNA was used to soak second-
instar root-knot nematodes. unc38
Gene expression levels were downregulated, resulting in a
mortality rate of 68.9% at 60 hours, and complete death of nematodes at 120 hours. Immersion unc38 The dsRNA-infected second-
instar larvae of the bean root-knot
nematode significantly reduced the
infectivity of tomato roots. After 30 days of
inoculation, the number of root knots decreased significantly by about 57%, and the number of females, the number of
egg masses, the number of eggs in each egg
mass, and reproductive factors were all significantly reduced.
