EXPRESSION CARTRIDGE FOR INDUCING RESISTANCE TO MULTIPLE NEMATOID SPECIES IN PLANTS, METHOD AND PLANTS USING SAID EXPRESSION CARTRIDGE

摘要

The present invention provides expression cartridges for plants, capable of silencing genes of multiple nematoid species that feed on said plants, thus imparting resistance to said nematoid species. More specifically, the expression cartridges according to the present invention can express dsRNA molecules in tissues that are the target of nematoid infestation. Also provided are vectors comprising said expression cartridge, methods for producing a plant that is resistant to multiple nematoid species, and also methods for controlling nematoids in a plantation, plants that are resistant to multiple nematoid species, seed of these plants and products produced from material extracted from said plants.
