The equal sign between short (11-18 nt long) unmodified DNA oligonucleotides and contact insecticides was first established on the sponge moth Lymantria dispar by Crimean molecular geneticist Oberemok V.V. in 2008 [1][2][3]. By the beginning of 2008, there was no data in the world literature on the possibility of using RNase H-dependent antisense DNA oligonucleotides as contact DNA insecticides for insect pest control. Generally, insect pest rRNAs serve as targets for them [4].
Oligonucleotide insecticides represent antisense DNA technology and act through DNA containment mechanism that consists of 2 steps: at first step, antisense DNA oligonucleotide complementarily interacts with target rRNA (in other words, ‘arrests’ target rRNA) and blocks normal functioning of ribosomes; at second step, RNase H cleaves target rRNA and substantial decrease in its concentration occurs [5].
Today, oligonucleotide insecticides (DNA insecticides) is the only biotechnology that uses short unmodified antisense DNA oligonucleotides in plant protection [6][7]. According to the authors, the use of DNA insecticides, as next-generation class of insecticides, can reduce the concentration of modern chemical insecticides (organic xenobiotics) in ecosystems. Antisense DNA technology is very efficient eco-friendly platform against hemipteran insect pests [4], and also is moderately effective against lepidopterans [5].
