(57) Abstract :
The invention relates to identifying and evaluating target coding sequences for control of plant parasitic nematodes by inhibiting one
or more biological functions, and their use. The invention provides methods and compositions for identification of such sequences and
for the control of a plant-parasitic nematode population. By feeding one or more recombinant double stranded RNA molecules
provided by the invention to the nematode, a reduction in disease may be obtained through suppression of nematode gene expression.
The invention is also directed to methods for making transgenic plants that express the double stranded RNA molecules, and the plant
cells and plants obtained thereby.
