The coleopteran insect western corn rootworm (WCR) (Diabrotica virgifera LeConte) is a devastating crop pest in North America and Europe. Although plants that produce Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins can limit infestation, some populations have evolved resistance to Bt proteins. Here we describe an insecticidal protein, designated IPD072Aa, isolated from Pseudomonas chlororaphis. Transgenic expressing IPD072Aa show protection WCR injury under field conditions. leaves several lepidopteran...
Various lepidopteran insects are responsible for major crop losses worldwide. Although plant varieties developed to express Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins effective at controlling damage from key pests, some insect populations have evolved be insensitive certain Bt proteins. Here, we report the discovery of a family homologous proteins, two which designated IPD083Aa and IPD083Cb, Adiantum spp. Both share no known peptide domains, sequence motifs, or signatures with other Transgenic...
ABSTRACT Soil microbes are a major food source for free-living soil nematodes. It is known that certain bacteria have evolved systems to combat predation. We identified the nematode-antagonistic Pseudomonas protegens strain 15G2 from screening of microbes. Through protein purification we binary protein, designated Pp-ANP, which responsible nematicidal activity. This inhibits Caenorhabditis elegans growth and development by arresting larvae at L1 stage killing older-staged worms. The two...
IPD072Aa from Pseudomonas chlororaphis is a new insecticidal protein that has been shown to have high activity against western corn rootworm (WCR). IPD072 no sequence signatures or predicted structural motifs with any known revealing little insight into its mode of action using bioinformatic tools. As many bacterially derived proteins are act through mechanisms lead death midgut cells, we evaluated whether also acts by targeting the cells WCR midgut. exhibits specific binding brush border...
