Abstract
The invention relates to the field of molecular biology and particularly novel genes that encode pesticidal proteins useful for controlling pests, particularly plant pests. These proteins and the nucleic acid sequences that encode them are useful in preparing pesticidal compositions and in the production of transgenic pest-resistant plants.

A transgenic plant comprising at least one nucleic acid sequence encoding for a protein selected from the group consisting of:
- a) Group 1 proteins having at least 70% identity with SEQ ID NO:
- 1 (GDI0005A), and
- b) Group 2 proteins having at least 65% identity with SEQ ID NO:
- 2 (GDI0006A).
A composition having insecticidal activity against an insect pest comprising an effective amount of at least one protein selected from:
- a) Group 1 protein having at least 70% identity with SEQ ID NO:
- 1 (GDI0005A), and
