Double stranded RNA compositions for reducing asian citrus psyllid infestation and methods of use

摘要: dsRNA generated from D. citri trehalase gene is effective in reducing fitness and/or survival of . Thus genetically altered plants expressing the and to which solutions are applied increase mortality reduce infestation. With reduced population, spread microorganisms for a vector reduced. Such include, but not limited to, C. Liberibacter species, including: CLas, CLam, CLaf. Thus, applying plant reduces disease microorganism transmission by killing that feed on treated plant.
