                                     Worldwide,  insect  pests  cause  extensive  damage  to  the  economically  important  crops.  With  the  advancement  of  genetic  engineering technology,  attempts  have  been  made  to  achieve  insect  resistance  in  crop  plants.  The  discovery  of  RNA  interference  (RNAi) phenomenon  opens
