Compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions comprising a coding sequence for a Bacillus thuringiensis toxin polypeptide are provided. The coding sequences can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression in plants and bacteria. Compositions also comprise transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated toxin nucleic acid molecules are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed, and antibodies specifically binding to those amino acid sequences. In particular, the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:5-26, or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1-4, as well as variants and fragments thereof.
A construct comprising a heterologous promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having pesticidal activity against a lepidopteran pest, wherein said nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of:
A recombinant polypeptide with pesticidal activity against a lepidopteran pest, wherein said polypeptide comprises a heterologous leader or transit peptide and wherein said polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of:
A plant or plant cell having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein having pesticidal activity against a lepidopteran pest, wherein said nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of:
A method for protecting a plant from a lepidopteran pest, comprising expressing in a plant or cell thereof a nucleotide sequence that encodes a pesticidal polypeptide, wherein said nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of:
A method for increasing yield in a plant comprising growing in a field a plant or a seed thereof having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein having pesticidal activity against a lepidopteran pest, wherein said nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of:
