  • Methods and compositions for controlling insects
    Publication number: 20030026795
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling insects by co-expressing an amino acid oxidase and a second enzyme that provides insecticidal activity when present in a mixture with the amino acid oxidase are disclosed. Also disclosed are DNA and protein sequences, and transformed microorganisms and plants useful for achieving such insect control.

  • Method of controlling insects
    Patent number: 5763245
    Abstract: 3-Hydroxysteroid oxidase in combination with Bacillus thuringiensis CryIA(b) or CryIA(c) crystal proteins or polypeptides controls insects, particularly lepidopterans. The combination when applied to larvae of several lepidopterans indicated significant effects on mortality and stunting and indicated responses that were statistically significant over those expected from additive, independent action. Cholesterol oxidase and CryIA(b) crystal protein were also effective against black cutworm neonates when co-expressed in transgenic corn and tested in a detached leaf assay.

  • Method of controlling insects
    Patent number: 5558862
    Abstract: 3-Hydroxysteroid oxidase controls insects, particularly lepidopteran and boll weevil. Genes encoding for this enzyme may be cloned into vectors for transformation of plant-colonizing microorganisms, thereby providing a method of controlling insect infestation.
