Example 5 detection of interference Effect of dsRNA of Termite Cooperia punctata and Termite Black Sclerotium Cry2 genes
5.1 introduction of dsRNA of Termite Cry2 Gene
Respectively selecting the white ant and white ant with consistent size and good growth condition for dsRNA injection, wherein the white ant is injected with dsRNA-1, and the white ant is injected with dsRNA-2. After cryoanesthesia on ice, injection is carried out at the membrane between the 1 st and the 2 nd thoracic nodes on the side of the chest of the worker ant. Mu.g of dsRNA was introduced into termites by microinjection. The termites after injection were housed in a petri dish with a diameter of 9 cm. Termites injected with dsRNA-1 or dsRNA-2 were used as the treatment group, and termites injected with an equal amount of dsGFP were used as the control group.
5.2 detecting the mRNA expression quantity of termite Cry2 gene segment
After 3d of dsRNA injection, 3 good termites were randomly selected from the treated group and the control group respectively as a biological repeat to detect the expression level of Cry2 gene mRNA.
Total RNA was extracted by the RNAioso Plus (Trizol) method. The extracted RNA was reverse transcribed with reference to the PrimeScript RT reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser (Perfect Real Time) Kit instructions. Subsequently, the mRNA expression amounts of the target gene Cry2 and the reference genes beta-actin and NADH are detected by using a Real-time PCR method, so that the interference efficiency of the Cry2 gene is analyzed. Each treatment set 9 biological replicates.
The results show that the mRNA expression data do not fit a normal distribution. Thus, using Wilcoxon test to test dsRNA injected termites, a significant decrease in Cry2 gene expression was found in termites (as shown in fig. 1A-B).
Example 6 Effect of dsRNA of Cry2 Gene on the magnetic orientation behavior of Termite
6.1 magnetic orientation behavior testing device for termite design
Termite magnetic orientation behavior test in an open circular behavior test device (diameter 30cm, height 1cm) with a moist filter paper (diameter 30cm) laid on the bottom, in order to prevent termites from not moving in the test device, moist filter paper (diameter 2cm) containing 7.5% glucose was placed in the test device in four directions (0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° clockwise with respect to the direction of the geomagnetic field). The termite trajectories were recorded with infrared cameras (acA1920-40gc, germany). The video was subjected to quantitative analysis using the motion trajectory tracking system EthoVision-XT (Noldus Information Technology, the netherlands).
6.2 testing of magnetic Directional behavior of Termite
At the beginning of the experiment, test termites were placed in the behavior testing apparatus. Test termites were allowed to acclimate to the test environment for 1h before shooting and then tested in the test apparatus for 4 min. The termite trajectories were recorded with an infrared camera (acA1920-40gc, germany) and captured at a rate of 25 frames/second. Termite mean orientation was quantified on video using the motion trajectory tracking system EthoVision-XT (Noldus Information Technology, the netherlands). Termites injected with dsCry2 were treated and termites injected with an equal amount of dsGFP were control. Each treatment was repeated more than 30 times.
The results showed that the directional preference of two termites injected with dsCry2 disappeared (black-wing odontotermes formosanus: r ═ 0.124, p ═ 0.563; black-thorny termites: r ═ 0.09, p ═ 0.706 as shown in fig. 2A and 2C), but two termites injected with dsGFP had significant directional preference (black-wing odontotermes formosanus: r ═ 0.294, p ═ 0.021; black-thorny termites: r ═ 0.31, p ═ 0.011;). In addition, the termite injected with dsCry2 had a significantly higher turning angle of motion than the termite injected with dsGFP (black wing odontotermes formosanus: Z-2.43, df-81, p < 0.05; black thorny termites: Z-3.15, df-88, p <0.05 as shown in fig. 3A-B).
As can be seen from the results of example 6, termites injected with dsCry2 not only disappeared the magnetic orientation behavior, but also the turning angle of motion was significantly increased. Thus, the interference of the foraging orientation and the homing capability of the termites after the Cry2 gene is silenced by the RNAi technology is shown.
The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention, and various modifications and improvements of the technical solutions of the present invention can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention defined by the claims.

Claims (4)

1. dsRNA for controlling termites, which is dsRNA-1 or dsRNA-2;
wherein the dsRNA-1 consists of a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 10 is transcribed; the dsRNA-2 consists of a sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 13 is transcribed.
2. A template DNA for synthesizing the dsRNA-1 or dsRNA-2 of claim 1, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA of dsRNA-1 is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 10 is shown in the figure; the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA of the dsRNA-2 is shown as SEQ ID NO: shown at 13.
3. Use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2, comprising any one of:
(1) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 for termite control;
(2) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 in the preparation of a termite control product;
(3) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 to interfere with termite magnetic orientation behavior;
(4) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 in the preparation of a product that interferes with the magnetic directional behavior of termites;
(5) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 to interfere with termite foraging orientation and homing ability;
(6) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 in the preparation of a product that interferes with termite foraging orientation and homing ability;
(7) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 for reducing termite motion turns;
(8) use of the dsRNA of claim 1 or the template DNA of claim 2 in the preparation of a termite motion corner reducing product.
4. A method of termite control, interfering with the magnetic directional behavior, interfering with the foraging orientation and homing capacity, or reducing the turning angle of termite movement, said method comprising: introducing the dsRNA of claim 1 into a termite body.
