Abstract
Chimeric genes encoding lectins exhibiting pesticidal activity (for example, insecticidal and/or fungicidal activity) are disclosed which can be used to transform cotton to yield cotton cells, plants, and seeds in which the chimeric genes are expressed. Such transformed cotton cells are pesticidal when ingested by cotton pests.
