BACILLUS STRAINS AND PESTICIDAL PROTEINS, G W Warren, M G Koziel M A Mullins, G J Nye, B C Carr, N M Desai, K Kostichka, N B Duck, & J J Estruch , 2004. Syngenta Participations AG, Switzerland. Patent # EP1382611.
The present invention is drawn to pesticidal strains and proteins. Bacillus strains which are capable of producing pesticidal proteins and auxiliary proteins during vegetative growth are provided. Also provided are the purified proteins, nucleotide sequences encoding the proteins and methods for using the strains, proteins and genes for controlling pests. |
COT102 INSECTICIDAL COTTON, D M Ellis, D V Negrotto, L Shi, F A Shotkoski, C R Thomas (2004). Syngenta Participations Ag, Switzerland. Patent # WO2004039986.
The present application relates an insect resistant transgenic cotton plant. In particular, it relates to a specific event, designated COT102. The application also relates to polynucleotides which are characteristic of the COT102 event, plants comprising said polynucleotides, and methods of detecting the COT102 event. The COT102 event exhibits a novel genotype comprising two expression cassettes. The first cassette comprises a suitable promoter for expression in plants operably linked to a gene that encodes a VIP3A insecticidal toxin, useful in controlling a wide spectrum of lepidopteran insect pests, and a suitable polyadenylation signal. The second cassette comprises a gene which, when expressed, can be used as a selectable marker. |
METHODS FOR TRANSFORMING PLANTS TO EXPRESS BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS DELTA-ENDOTOXINS, D R Corbin & C P Romano (2000). Monsanto Co., USA. Patent # WO0026371.
Disclosed is a means of controlling plant pests by a novel method of expressing Cry2A B. thuringiensis delta-endotoxins in plants. The invention comprises novel nucleic acid segments encoding proteins comprising Cry2A B. thuringiensis delta-endotoxins. The nucleic acid segments are disclosed, as are transformation vectors containing the nucleic acid segments, plants transformed with the claimed segments, methods for transforming plants, and methods of controlling plant infestation by pests. |
