The invention discloses application of a
brown planthopper NCS2
gene or an encoded
protein as a target spot in preparation of a
drug for preventing and treating
brown planthopper, and relates to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering. According to the application disclosed by the invention, the effect of the rice pest nilaparvata lugens NCS2
gene in prevention and treatment of nilaparvata lugens is found, and the nilaparvata lugens has an efficient RNAi effect, so that the expression of the nilaparvata lugens NCS2
gene in a pest body can be interfered by utilizing the
advantage of the nilaparvata lugens NCS2 gene. DsRNA of the NCS2 gene is obtained through an RNAi technology, and after the NCS2 gene is silenced in a
microinjection mode, the transcriptional level of the NCS2 gene is reduced, individual development and
ovary development of the
brown planthopper can be effectively inhibited, the
egg laying amount can be reduced, and the ability of inhibiting growth, development and
reproduction of pests is achieved, so that
reproduction of the brown
planthopper is inhibited, and prevention and treatment of the brown
planthopper are achieved. When NCS2 gene function research is carried out, it is found that an obvious lethal effect is generated when an RNAi technology is used for interfering expression of the gene in 2-5-age nymphs of brown
planthopper.
