Abstract
The present invention provides nucleotide sequences encoding an insecticidal protein exhibiting lepidopteran inhibitory activity, as well as a novel insecticidal protein referred to herein as a Cry1A.105 insecticide, transgenic plants expressing the insecticide, and methods for detecting the presence of the nucleotide sequences or the insecticide in a biological sample.
Claims10
An isolated nucleotide sequence encoding an insecticidal protein comprising an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 from amino acid position 10 through amino acid position 600.
7-20. (canceled)
A method of identifying in a biological sample a nucleotide sequence encoding a Cry1A.105 amino acid sequence, said method comprising contacting said sample with a polynucleotide that hybridizes to the nucleotide sequence under stringent hybridization conditions and detecting the binding of said polynucleotide to said nucleotide sequence, wherein said binding is diagnostic for said nucleotide sequence in said sample.
A method of identifying in a sample a Cry1A.105 protein, said method comprising contacting said sample with an antibody that binds specifically to said protein, and detecting the binding, wherein said binding is diagnostic for the presence of said protein in said sample.
