INSECT-RESISTANT TRANSGENIC PLANTS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING.DELTA.-ENDOTOXIN ACTIVITY AGAINST TARGET INSECTS
摘要
Disclosed are methods for increasing the activity of B. thuringiensis .delta.endotoxins against Coleopteran insect pests. Also disclosed are methods for mutagenizing nucleic acid sequences encoding these polypeptides, and increasing insect resistance in transgenic plants expressing these genes.
