  • Genes encoding lepidopteran-active toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis isolate PS158C2
    Patent number: 6150589
    Abstract: Novel B.t. genes encoding toxins active against lepidopteran insects have been cloned from a novel lepidopteran-active B. thuringiensis isolate P515862. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various hosts to express the B.t. toxin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2000
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Jewel Payne, David A. Cummings, Raymond J. C. Cannon, Kenneth E. Narva, Steve Stelman

  • Bacillus thuringiensis for controlling pests in the family aphididae
    Patent number: 5468636
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS157C1, B.t. PS86A1, and B.t. PS75J1, which are active against aphid pests. Thus, these isolates, or variants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Further, genes encoding novel .delta.-endotoxins can be removed from these isolates and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in microbe hosts results in the control of aphid pests, whereas transformed plants become resistant to aphid pests.

  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolates for controlling acarides
    Patent number: 5424410
    Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS50C, B.t. PS86A1, B.t. PS69D1, B.t. PS72L1, B.t. PS75J1, B.t. PS83E5, B.t. PS45B1, B.t.. PS24J, B.t. PS94R3, B.t. PS17, B.t. PS62B1 and B.t. PS74G1 which are active against acaride pests. Thus, these isolates, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Further, genes encoding novel .delta.-endotoxins can be removed from these isolates and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in microbe hosts results in the control of acaride pests, whereas transformed plants become resistant to acaride pests.

  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolates for controlling acarides
    Patent number: 5350576
    Abstract: Disclosed are Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS45B1, B.t. PS24J, B.t. PS94R3 B.t. PS17, B.t. PS62B1 and B.t. PS74G1 which produce novel .delta.-endotoxins active against acarid pests. Thus, these isolates, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Claimed are genes encoding these novel .delta.-endotoxins, which can be removed from these isolates and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the toxins in microbe hosts results in the control of acarid pests, whereas transformed plants become resistant to acarid pests.

  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolate denoted B.t.PS158C2, active against lepidopteran pests, and genes encoding lepidopteran-active toxins
    Patent number: 5268172
    Abstract: A novel B.t. toxin gene toxic to lepidopteran insects has been cloned from a novel lepidopteran-active B. thuringiensis microbe. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B.t. toxin. These recombinant microbes can be used to control lepidopteran insects in various environments.
