Patent number: 12227544Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Steven D Gruver, Lu Liu, Barbara Rosen, Ute Schellenberger, Jun-Zhi Wei, Weiping Xie, Genhai Zhu
