  • Patent number: 10233217
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2019
    Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLC
    Inventors: James A. Baum, Sara A. Salvador, Jinling Wang, Stanislaw Flasinski, Thomas A. Cerruti, Crystal L. Dart, Leigh H. English, Xiaoran Fu, Victor M. Guzov, Arlene R. Howe, Jay P. Morgenstern, James K. Roberts
  • Publication number: 20180334684
    Abstract: Engineered Cry1Da amino acid sequences are provided that exhibit improved Lepidopteran insecticidal activity and an enhanced Lepidopteran spectrum compared to the naturally occurring Cry1Da protein toxin. Polynucleotide sequences intended for use in expression of the improved proteins in plants are also provided. Particular embodiments provide compositions containing insect inhibitory amounts of the engineered proteins, as well as recombinant plants, plant parts, and seeds containing polynucleotide constructs encoding one or more of the improved engineered proteins.
