Nucleotide sequences are disclosed that encode novel chimeric insecticidal proteins exhibiting Lepidopteran inhibitory activity. Particular embodiments provide compositions and transformed plants, plant parts, and seeds containing the recombinant nucleic acid molecules encoding one or more of the chimeric insecticidal proteins.

Chimeric insecticidal proteins toxic or inhibitory to lepidopteran pests

Disclosed herein are nucleotide sequences encoding an insecticidal protein exhibiting Lepidopteran inhibitory activity, as well as novel insecticidal proteins referred to herein as a BCW 001, BCW 002, BCW 003, and BCW toxic protein-containing chimeras and BCW toxin insecticide, transgenic plants expressing the chimeras or the insecticide, and methods for detecting the presence of the nucleotide sequences or the insecticide in a biological sample.

Pesticidal toxin proteins active againstinsects

Disclosed herein are nucleotide sequences encoding an insecticidal protein exhibitinginhibitory activity, as well as novel insecticidal proteins referred to herein as a BCW 001, BCW 002, BCW 003, and BCW toxic protein-containing chimeras and BCW toxin insecticide, transgenic plants expressing the chimeras or the insecticide, and methods for detecting the presence of the nucleotide sequences or the insecticide in a biological sample.

Pesticidal toxin proteins active against lepidopteran insects

Chimeric insecticidal proteins toxic or inhibitory to Lepidopteran pests

Novel syntheticcrystal proteins exhibiting insect inhibitory activity is disclosed. Polynucleotides encoding the crystal protein, transgenic plants and microorganisms that contain the polynucleotides, isolated peptides derived from the crystal protein, and antibodies directed against the crystal protein are also provided. Methods of using the crystal protein and polynucleotides encoding the crystal protein to control Lepidopteran insects are also disclosed.

Multiple domain lepidopteran active toxin proteins

Disclosed are nucleic acid segments comprising synthetically-modified genes encoding Coleopteran-toxic&#x3b4;-endotoxins. Also disclosed are methods of using these genes for the recombinant expression of polypeptides, the preparation of vectors containing the genes, and methods for transforming suitable host cells.
