Modified Bacillus thuringiensis genes with improved expression in plant

A DNA fragment, encoding all or an insecticidally-effective part of a Bt crystal protein, is modified by changing A and T sequences to corresponding G and C sequences encoding the same amino acids, in a region having transcriptional activity less than 25% of the transcriptional activity of a region at the translation initiation site.
