Abstract
Disclosed are transgenic plants, seeds, and progeny from such plants comprising novel nucleic acid sequences encoding both CryET33 and CryET34 crystal proteins. The novel nucleic acid sequences comprise SEQ ID NO:11. CryET33 and CryET34 crystal proteins comprise SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4 and exhibit insecticidal activity against coleopteran insects including red flour beetle larvae (Tribolium castaneum) and Japanese beetle larvae (Popillia japonica).
Claims6
A transgenic plant having incorporated into its genome a transgene that encodes a CryET33 and CryET34 crystal protein or peptide comprising SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4.
A transgenic plant having incorporated into its genome a transgene that encodes a protein or peptide that exhibits insecticidal activity against the Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) and the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), wherein the transgene comprises SEQ ID NO:11.
