Estimating the term…
DNA sequences optimized for expression in plants are disclosed. The DNA sequences preferably encode for an insecticidal polypeptides, particularly insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis. Plant promoters, particular tissue-specific and tissue-preferred promoters are also provided. Additionally disclosed are transformation vectors comprising said DNA sequences. The transformation vectors demonstrate high levels of insecticidal activity when transformed into maize.
A transgenic maize seed comprising a synthetic DNA sequence that encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal protein stably incorporated into the genome of said seed, said synthetic DNA sequence comprising a sufficient number of the following codons:
