NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES CODING FOR POLYPEPTIDES EXERCISING A LARVICIDAL EFFECT IN LEPIDOPTERA

摘要

A nucleotide sequence coding for at least one part of the terminal N region of a polypeptide which exercises a specific toxic effect on Lepidoptera of the Noctuidae family, preferably on S.littoralis, is characterized by its capacity for hybridisation with a gene capable of expressing a polypeptide exercising a toxic effect on S.littoralis larvae.
