Abstract
Compositions and methods for conferring lepidoptericidal activity to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions comprising a coding sequence for the Axmi226 toxin polypeptide are provided. The Axmi226 coding sequences can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression in plants and bacteria. Compositions also comprise transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated Axmi226 toxin nucleic acid molecules are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the Axmi226 polynucleotides are encompassed, and antibodies specifically binding to those amino acid sequences. In particular, the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:19 and 20, or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:4, as well as variants and fragments thereof.
