The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural
biology, and particularly relates to an
RNA interference sequence of a
pisum sativum cathepsin B
gene as well as a preparation method and application of the
RNA interference sequence. DsRNA of target genes ApCatb-1418 and ApCatb-3483 is synthesized
in vitro, and the dsRNA of the
pisum sativum is fed by an artificial device, so that the ApCatb-1418 and ApCatb-3483 genes of the
pisum sativum can be effectively silenced, the silencing efficiency reaches 64%-74%, and the
RNA interference sequence can be applied to the preparation of the pisum sativum
cathepsin B
gene. The
survival rate of the pea aphids can be obviously reduced, the
body shape is reduced and the
reproductive capacity is reduced; the invention solves the problems of
drug resistance, environmental
pollution and the like caused by abuse of chemical pesticides in the existing
aphid prevention and treatment, and the
bottleneck of lack of efficient specific target sequences in
RNA interference technology application, and is suitable for developing transgenic
aphid-resistant crops or novel
nucleic acid biopesticides. The method has important application value in research and development of novel RNAi
aphid control insecticides and cultivation of aphid-resistant plants.
