Insecticidal proteins and synergistic combinations thereof

Fuente: WIPO "biotechnology"
The present invention relates to insecticidal proteins. In a particular embodiment the invention provides an insecticidal protein having the amino acid sequence depicted as SEQ ID No. 1. The invention also provides an insecticidal synergistic protein combination comprising a first insecticidal protein according to the invention in combination with a further protein. Preferably the further protein is an insecticidal crystal endotoxin (CRY) protein Also provided are polynucleotides encoding the proteins and plants which are capable of producing the proteins or protein combination. The proteins according to the invention are particularly suitable for the production of plants which are resistant and/or tolerant to insects.
