Estimating the term…
Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The insecticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing lepidopteran, coleopteran, dipteran, fungal, hemipteran, and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
A recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding a PIP-1 polypeptide having insecticidal activity against an insect pest in the order Hemiptera and/or an insect pest in the order Lepidoptera.
A recombinant PIP-1 polypeptide having insecticidal activity against an insect pest of the order Hemiptera and/or insecticidal activity against an insect pest of the order Lepidoptera.
A plant or progeny thereof stably transformed with a recombinant nucleic acid molecule selected from
