Abstract
The subject invention includes methods and plants for controlling European corn borer, said plants comprising a Cry1Ab insecticidal protein and a DIG-3 insecticidal protein to delay or prevent development of resistance by the insect.
Claims23
A transgenic plant comprising a Cry1Ab polynucleotide encoding a Cry1Ab insecticidal protein, and a DIG-3 polynucleotide encoding a DIG-3 insecticidal protein having at least 95% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:2.
A non-totipotent plant cell comprising a Cry1Ab polynucleotide encoding a Cry1Ab insecticidal protein, and a DIG-3 polynucleotide encoding the DIG-3 insecticidal protein of SEQ ID NO:2.
A method of controlling a corn borer insect, wherein said method comprises contacting said insect or the environment of said insect with an effective amount of a composition that contains a Cry1Ab insecticidal protein and further contains the DIG-3 insecticidal protein of SEQ ID NO:2.
