DIG-13 insecticidal cry toxins
View Patent ↗DIG-13 insecticidal toxins, polynucleotides encoding such toxins, use of such toxins to control pests, and transgenic plants that produce such toxins are disclosed.
1. An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide wherein the polynucleotide encodes an amino acid sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:6.
2. A method for controlling a pest population comprising contacting said pest population with a plant, a plant tissue, or a plant cell comprising a polynucleotide, wherein the polynucleotide, encodes an amino acid sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:6.
3. A plant comprising the isolated nucleic acid of claim 1 .
4. A DNA construct comprising the isolated nucleic acid of claim 1 .
5. A transgenic plant comprising the DNA construct of claim 4 , wherein the DNA construct is stably incorporated into the genome of the transgenic plant.
6. A method for protecting a plant from a pest comprising introducing into said plant the DNA construct of claim 4 .
7. An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide wherein the polynucleotide encodes an amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:6.
