Publication number: 20240117374Abstract: Pesticidal proteins are provided that combine two or more modes of action into a single molecule. These pesticidal proteins therefor exhibit greater efficacy and/or durability of resistance, for the purposes of pest control, and can be utilized for pest control by provision in the diet of a pest organism, or by topical application to crop plants and/or pests. Methods and compositions for producing and using such proteins are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Timothy K. Ball, Artem G. Evdokimov, Larry A. Gilbertson, Victor M. Guzov, Jeffrey A. Haas, Qing Huai, Sergey Ivashuta, Melissa M. Kemp, Yifei Kong, Thomas M. Malvar, Byron V. Olsen, Parthasarathy Ramaseshadri, Brian E.

Patent number: 11825850Abstract: Pesticidal proteins exhibiting toxic activity against Lepidopteran pest species are disclosed, and include, but are not limited to, TIC4029, TIC4029_1, and TIC4029_8. DNA constructs are provided which contain a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding one or more of the disclosed pesticidal proteins. Transgenic plants, plant cells, seed, and plant parts resistant to Lepidopteran infestation are provided which contain recombinant nucleic acid sequences encoding pesticidal proteins of the TIC4029 class. Methods for detecting the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequences or the proteins of the TIC4029 class in a biological sample, and methods of controlling Lepidopteran species pests using any of the TIC4029, TIC4029_1, and TIC4029_8 pesticidal proteins are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Inventors: David J. Bowen, Catherine A. Chay, Arlene R. Howe, Matthew S. Marengo, Jason Meyer, Jason S Milligan, Brian E. Weiner
