Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acids, polypeptides, transgenic plants, compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity (e.g., insecticidal activity) to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds. Nucleic acids encoding the insecticidal proteins can be used to transform prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, including plants, to express the insecticidal proteins. The recombinant organisms and compositions containing the recombinant organisms or insecticidal proteins can be used to control a pest (e.g., an insect).

Abstract: Novel insecticidal proteins that are toxic to lepidopteran pests are disclosed. The DNA encoding the insecticidal proteins can be used to transform prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms to express the insecticidal proteins. The recombinant organisms or compositions containing the recombinant organisms or the insecticidal proteins alone or in combination with an appropriate agricultural carrier can be used to control lepidopteran pests in various environments.

Abstract: This invention provides polypeptides that were identified as interacting with Vip3 toxin. This invention also provides a method of identifying agents that bind to Vip3 interacting polypeptides, which agents may act as insecticidal agent, cytotoxic agents and/or modulate the activity of Vip3 interacting polypeptides.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling plant pests are disclosed. In particular, novel insecticidal proteins having toxicity to lepidopteran and/or coleopteran insect pests are provided. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the novel insecticidal proteins are also provided. Methods of making the insecticidal proteins and methods of using the insecticidal proteins and nucleic acids encoding the insecticidal proteins of the invention, for example in transgenic plants to confer protection from insect damage, are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to peptide biomarkers with specific ionization characteristics to directly quantify one or more transgenic target proteins in biological samples, including transgenic plant samples, by liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The peptide biomarkers in combination with MRM-based methods may be used to quantify a single transgenic target protein or multiple transgenic target proteins within a stacked transgenic crop, such as maize, utilizing selected peptide biomarkers either alone or in combination. The present disclosure allows for broad based, reliable quantitation in different biological matrices, including plant matrices. The peptide biomarkers of the invention can further be used as trait biomarkers to support identification and/or selection of specific transgenic Events. Also provided are different peptide biomarker combinations that can be used to perform the methods of the invention.
