BACKGROUNDChilo suppressalisandCnaphalocrocis medinalisare destructive rice pests co‐occurring in major rice‐growing areas in China. RNA interference (RNAi)‐based insect‐resistant genetically engineered (IRGE) crops provide a promising approach for pest management by suppressing gene expression or translation. A microRNA (miRNA)‐mediated IRGE rice line expressing endogenousChilo suppressalismiRNA Csu‐novel‐260, showing significant resistance againstChilo suppressalis, provides an attractive control strategy forChilo suppressalisby suppressing the expression of thedisembodied(dib) gene expression.However, whether this transgenic line also shows the resistance againstCnaphalocrocis medinalisremains unknown.RESULTSA spatiotemporal expression analysis of Csu‐novel‐260 in the transgenic rice line was performed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) to determine the paddy field pest exposure dose. In diet feeding assays, a chemically synthesized Csu‐novel‐260 agomir at 200 fmol g–1significantly inhibitedChilo suppressalispupation. However, larval development, survival and pupal weight were not significantly affected. Additionally, the transgenic line significantly affectedCnaphalocrocis medinalispupation but not larval survival. The qRT‐PCR showed thatCsdibandCmdibexpression levels were significantly suppressed when the two pests fed on the transgenic line. Additionally, the transgenic line significantly decreased Cry1C‐resistant and Cry1C‐susceptibleChilo suppressalislarval survival in detached rice tissue feeding assays, indicating that Cry1C‐resistantChilo suppressaliswas not cross‐resistant to Csu‐novel‐260 expressed in miRNA‐mediated IRGE rice.CONCLUSIONOur study demonstrated that miRNA‐mediated IRGE rice significantly inhibitedChilo suppressalisandCnaphalocrocis medinalispupation. The results provide a new viewpoint for the application of RNAi‐based plants and the inspiration for environmental risk assessment.
