Abstract
The present invention relates to transformed plants and plant cells comprising DNA molecules encoding Bacillus thuringiensis proteins with insecticidal activity. The invention relates more particularly to transformed plants and plant cells comprising DNA molecules encoding the protease resistant toxins BTS02618Aa or BTS02618Ab, as well as to methods of rendering plants or plant cells resistant to insects using these DNA molecules.
Claims15
A plant cell, transformed with a DNA encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 from amino acid position 44 to amino acid position 658, wherein the amino acid at position 164 in SEQ ID NO:5 is a lysine or an alanine.
A plant cell transformed with a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:6 from nucleotide position 19 to nucleotide position 1863.
A plant cell transformed with a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8 from nucleotide position 19 to nucleotide position 1863.
A plant comprising a DNA encoding the CryIAb toxin and a DNA encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 from amino acid position 44 to amino acid position 658, wherein the amino acid at position 164 in SEQ ID NO:5 is a lysine or an alanine.
A plant comprising a DNA encoding the CryIB toxin and a DNA encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 from amino acid position 44 to amino acid position 658, wherein the amino acid at position 164 in SEQ ID NO:5 is a lysine or an alanine.
A plant transformed with a DNA encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:9.
A plant or a seed thereof comprising a plurality of cells transformed with a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:6 from nucleotide position 19 to nucleotide position 1863.
