Structure specific recognition Protein 1 (ssrp1) nucleic acid molecules to control insect pests

This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of insect pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in insect pests, including pollen beetle. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of insect pests, and the plantcells and plants obtained thereby.
