Publication number: 20220056085Abstract: 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, Hemipteran, fungi and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicants: E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: STEPHEN M ALLEN, JENNIFER KARA BARRY, VIRGINIA CRANE, JAMES J ENGLISH, KEVIN A FENGLER, ERIC SCHEPERS, INGRID UDRANSZKY

Publication number: 20210002657Abstract: Methods of detecting the impacts on plant health attributable to the presence of one or more agronomically important polypeptides of interest in a transgenic plant are disclosed. The methods involve transforming plants or plant cells with nucleic acid sequences encoding proteins of agronomically important traits. The transformed plants or plant cells expressing the nucleic acid sequences encoding the proteins of agronomically important traits are compared to transformed plants or plant cells expressing a neutral control gene to detect the impacts on plant health attributable to the presence of the one or more agronomically important polypeptides of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: STEVEN HENRY BASS, HYEON-JE CHO, MYEONG-JE CHO, VIRGINIA CRANE, MATTHEW J HECKERT, JIAN JIN, TODD J JONES, KEVIN E MCBRIDE, JEANNE SANDAHL, SHIV BAHADUR TIWARI
