  • PLANTS HAVING ENHANCED TOLERANCE TO INSECT PESTS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING INSECT TOLERANCE GENES
    Publication number: 20170198301
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and recombinant DNA constructs useful for conferring improved tolerance in plants to insect pests; compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotides encode insect tolerance polypeptides.
    Type: Application
