Abstract
The subject invention concerns plants protected from nematode feeding damage and improved versions of Cry proteins. Synthetic genes encoding Cry proteins are also part of the subject invention. Another embodiment of the subject invention includes plants transformed with the genes of the subject invention. In yet another embodiment the subject invention concerns Bt proteins for in-plant protection against crop damage by root knot nematode (RKN; Meloidogyne incognita) and soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines).
Claims29
A transgenic plant that is resistant to damage by a nematode, wherein said resistance is due to expression of a polynucleotide that encodes a Cry protein that has toxin activity against said nematode.
A polynucleotide that encodes a modified Bacillus thuringiensis Cry protein having toxin activity against a nematode wherein said protein is truncated at the N terminus and/or at the C terminus, as compared to a corresponding full-length protein.
A polynucleotide that comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
