Proteins from the genusare toxic to insects upon exposure.(formerly) have been found in mammalian clinical samples and as a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic nematodes of genus. These protein toxins can be applied to, or genetically engineered into, insect larvae food and plants for insect control.

Nucleic acid encoding an insecticidal protein toxin from photorhabdus

Monoclonal antibodies expressed in plant cells bind targeted transit peptides to decrease steady state levels of passenger proteins in plant organelles.

Antibody-mediated down-regulation of plant proteins

Novel polynucleotide sequences that encode insect toxins TcdA and TcbA have base compositions that differ substantially from the native genes, making them more similar to plant genes. The new sequences are suitable for use for high expression in both monocots and dicots. Transgenic plants with a genome comprising the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO:4 are insect resistant.

Transgenic plants expressing photorhabdus toxin

Novel polynucleotide sequences that encode insect toxins TcdA and TcbA have base compositions that differ substantially from the native genes, making them more similar to plant genes. The new sequences are suitable for use for high expression in both monocots and dicots. Transgenic plants with a genome comprising a nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO:4 are insect resistant.

Proteins from the genus Photorhabdus are toxic to insects upon exposure. (formerly ) have been found in mammalian clinical samples and as a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic nematodes of genus Heterorhabditis. These protein toxins can be applied to, or genetically engineered into, insect larvae food and plants for insect control.
