A plant of the genus Lactuca which has been regenerated from a plant cell transformed to comprise a full length Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein gene capable of encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein of approximately 130-135 kD under control of a promoter such that said gene is expressible in said plant in amounts insecticidal to Lepidopteran insects.
