  • Patent number: 11015208
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

  • Patent number: 10704059
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method to obtain DNA constructs that encode 3-domain Cry toxins (also called Cry toxins, Bt toxins, or ?-endotoxins) lacking helix ?-1. These DNA constructs have been modified to encode proteins that kill insects that are resistant to the corresponding unmodified Cry toxins. The DNA constructs encoding the Modified 3-Domain Cry Toxins and the encoded Modified 3-Domain Cry Toxins are provided together with the molecular vectors and the host cell comprising said constructs and the recombinant methods to produce the Modified 3-Domain Cry Toxins. Additionally, compositions comprising the Modified 3-Domain Cry Toxins are disclosed. The resistance of the insects to unmodified Cry toxins is due to reduced toxin binding to the insects' midgut receptors. The invention further provides methods to overcome resistance in crop pests.
