Sequence–Activity Relationships for the Snf7 Insecticidal dsRNA in Chrysomelidae

The responsiveness of insects to oral delivery of insecticidal dsRNA has been shown to be dependent on dsRNA length and sequence match. Previous work with the western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) demonstrated that at least one ≥21 nt match must be pr...
