Compositions having pesticidal activity and methods for their use are provided. Compositions include isolated and recombinant polypeptides having pesticidal activity, recombinant and synthetic nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptides, DNA constructs and vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules, host cells comprising the vectors, and antibodies to the polypeptides. Nucleotide sequences encoding the polypeptides can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression in organisms of interest. The compositions and methods provided are useful for producing organisms with enhanced pest resistance or tolerance. Transgenic plants and seeds comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a pesticidal protein of the invention are also provided. Such plants are resistant to insects and other pests. Methods are provided for producing the various polypeptides disclosed herein, and for using those polypeptides for controlling or killing a pest. Methods and kits for detecting polypeptides of the invention in a sample are also included.
A recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide comprising
A host cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide comprising
A DNA construct comprising a heterologous promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide comprising
A plant having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a protein having pesticidal activity, wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises
A method for protecting a plant from an insect pest, comprising expressing in a plant or cell thereof a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a pesticidal polypeptide, wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises:
A method for increasing yield in a plant comprising growing in a field a plant or seed thereof having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising a promoter that drives expression in a plant operably linked to a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a pesticidal polypeptide, wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises:
