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.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to insecticidal toxin resistance management and screening of novel insecticidal toxins. One embodiment relates to the isolation, characterization, compositions, and methods of use relating to polynucleotides encoding novel insecticidal toxin receptors and the polypeptides encoded thereby. The polynucleotides and polypeptides are useful in identifying or designing novel insecticidal toxin receptor ligands including novel insecticidal toxins.

Abstract: A structural insulated panel system includes a frame including a first vertical frame member and a second vertical frame member and a top frame member and a bottom frame member. A first siding member is attached to one side of the frame and a second siding member is attached to an opposite side of the frame to form a cavity and an insulation material is provided within the cavity. A tongue portion includes a projection formed from the first vertical frame member disposed laterally outward from one vertical edge of the first and second siding members. A groove portion includes a recess formed from the second vertical frame member disposed laterally inward from an opposite vertical edge of the first and second siding members, so that the tongue portion from one panel is configured to mate with the groove portion of another panel to provide an assembly of multiple panels.
