The present invention relates to novel gene sequences encoding insecticidal proteins produced bystrains. Particularly, new chimeric genes encoding a CryIC, CryIB or CryID protein are provided which are useful to protect plants from insect damage. Also included herein are plant cells or plants comprising such genes and methods of making or using them, as well as plant cells or plants comprising one of such chimeric gene and at least one other such chimeric genes.

Genes encoding insecticidal proteins

The invention pertains to novel insecticidal compounds derived fromstrains. New proteins designated Cry1Jd, Cry9Fa, and Cry1Bf, and insecticidal fragments thereof are provided, as well as DNA sequences encoding these proteins or their insecticidal fragments. Further provided are recombinant hosts expressing such proteins, particularly plant cells and plants.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to the field of plant pest control, particularly insect control. Provided are nucleotide sequences fromencoding insecticidal proteins. Further provided are methods and means for using said nucleotide sequence for controlling plant insect pests.

The invention pertains to novel insecticidal compounds derived fromstrains. New proteins designated. Cry2Ae, Cry2Af, and Cry2Ag, and variants thereof are provided, as well as DNA sequences encoding these proteins or their variants. Further provided are recombinant hosts expressing such proteins, particularly plant cells and plants.

The present invention relates to new DNA sequences encoding an insecticidal Cry9Fa protein and insecticidal parts thereof, which are useful to protect plants from insect damage. Also included herein are micro-organisms and plants transformed with a DNA sequence encoding an insecticidal Cry9Fa protein and processes for controlling insects and to obtain a plant resistant to insects.

Novel bacterial insecticidal proteins and equivalents thereof were isolated. These proteins and the DNA sequences encoding them are useful to make insecticidal compositions or transgenic plants to protect plants from damage by insects, particularly coleopteran insects.

Toxins

The present invention relates to the field of plant pest control, particularly insect control. Provided are nucleotide sequences fromencoding insecticidal proteins. Further provided are methods and means for using said nucleotide sequence for controlling plant insect pests. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Plants made resistant to insects by transforming their nuclear genome with two or more DNA sequences, each encoding a different non-competitively bindingprotoxin or insecticidal part thereof, preferably the toxin thereof.

Prevention of Bt resistance development

The invention pertains to novel insecticidal compounds derived fromstrains. New proteins designated Cry2Ae, Cry2Af, and Cry2Ag, and variants thereof are provided, as well as DNA sequences encoding these proteins or their variants. Further provided are recombinant hosts expressing such proteins, particularly plant cells and plants.

Nucleic acids encoding a novel Cry2Ae bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein

The invention pertains to novel insecticidal compounds derived fromstrains. Nucleotide sequences encoding a Cry2Ae protein and truncated fragments thereof are provided. Further provided are recombinant hosts expressing such proteins, particularly plant cells, plants and seeds and methods of using the recombinant hosts for controlling insects, particularly Lepidoptera.

The present invention relates to new DNA sequences encoding an insecticidal Cry1Bf protein and insecticidal parts thereof, which are useful to protect plants from insect damage. Also included herein are micro-organisms and plants transformed with a DNA sequence encoding an insecticidal Cry1Bf protein and processes for controlling insects and to obtain a plant resistant to insects.

The invention provides DNA sequences encoding insecticidal secreted proteins from bacteria and transgenic plants having insecticidal activity against coleopteran insect pests. Methods of protecting plants from damage by insects by transforming the plants with chimeric genes comprising DNA sequences encoding the insecticidal secreted proteins are also provided.
