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 a DNA sequence encoding a modified Cry1Ab protein that has insecticidal activity. The invention further relates to a method for producing insect resistant plants by introducing into the genome of the plants a foreign DNA comprising such a modified cry1Ab coding sequence. The invention further relates to plants or parts thereof comprising in their genome the modified cry1Ab coding sequence of the present invention.
