摘要：
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of delivering double strand ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) to insects that penetrate plant tissues to feed on sap and other liquid components of plants. Taking advantage of the liquid transport capabilities of plant vascular structures, dsRNA is provided to plant tissues in an aqueous solution that is then transported throughout the tissues. The dsRNA-laden plant material is then presented to insects that can ingest the dsRNA by feeding on the plant tissue.
