CHIMERIC POLYPEPTIDES ALLOWING EXPRESSION OF PLANT-NOXIOUS PROTEINS

摘要

This invention relates to chimeric polypeptides comprising vacuole targeting sequences and plant-noxious sequences and especially pest control proteins. The polypeptides are useful in methods for targeting non-vacuolar harmful proteins to plant vacuoles. Chimeric polypeptides of the invention containing pest control proteins are useful for conferring pest resistance on plants and in the production of compositions useful as pesticides. The methods and compositions form further aspects of the invention.
