摘要:
The subject invention pertains to B.t. toxins and isolates against pests. More specifically, the subject invention relates to controlling coleopteran pests, with pesticidal proteins obtainable from B.t. isolate PS158C2, and lepidopteran pests, with pesticidal proteins obtainable from B.t. isolate HD511.
摘要:
An improved Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) delta-endotoxin is created by the modification of the gene encoding the toxin. The toxicity of a B.t. toxin was improved by replacing the native protoxin segment with an alternate protoxin segment by constructing a chimeric toxin gene.

The subject invention concerns materials and methods for the control of non-mammalian pests. In specific embodiments, the subject invention concerns materials and methods useful in the control of insects from the Order Homoptera. More specifically, the subject invention provides novel Bacillus thuringinesis (B.t.) isolates, or strains, toxins, and toxin-encoding genes that are useful for the control of homopterans. The strains HD969, PS66D3, and PS50C are specifically exemplified herein as yielding mortality against homopterans. In a preferred embodiment, the target pests are selected from the group consisting of leafhoppers and planthoppers.

The subject invention concerns the use of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) endotoxins to control hemipteran insect pests. Specifically exemplified is B.t. isolate PS123D1, and .delta.-endotoxins therefrom. These isolates and toxins can be administered to said pests, or to the environment of said pests, e.g. plants, to achieve control of the pests.

The subject invention concerns the use of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) endotoxins to control hemipteran insect pests. Specifically exemplified is B.t. strain 201T6, B.t. var. israelensis, and .delta.-endotoxins therefrom. These isolates and toxins can be administered to said pests, or to the environment of said pests, e.g., plants, to achieve control of the pests. A preferred embodiment is the transformation of plants to express the B.t. toxins.
摘要:
The activity of pesticides is enhanced by application of a zwittermicin antibiotic in combination with insecticides. In particular, zwittermicin enhances the activity of Bacillus thuringiensis .delta.-endotoxins.
