摘要

The present invention relates to novel DNA sequences encoding insecticidal Cry1 C proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, and their use in plants to control insect pests. Also included herein are plant cells or plants comprising such genes and methods of making or using them, as well as plant cells or plants comprising a Cry1 C chimeric gene of the invention and at least one other chimeric gene, such as a chimeric gene encoding an insecticidal Cry1Ab protein, and methods of making or using such plant cells or plants.
