Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide that encodes a fusion protein comprising a first amino acid sequence and a second amino acid sequence, wherein said first amino acid sequence is the amino acid sequence of an approximately 45 kDa polypeptide and said second amino acid sequence is the amino acid sequence of an approximately 15 kDa polypeptide, wherein said polypeptides are toxic to a rootworm pest that ingests said polypeptides, wherein a nucleotide sequence that codes for said first amino acid sequence hybridizes with the complement of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:10, and wherein a nucleotide sequence that codes for said second amino acid sequence hybridizes with the complement of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:31.
