Patent ID: 7410796

Claim:
A genetic construct comprising a nucleotide sequence, or the full-length complementary sequence thereof, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a type II serine proteinase inhibitor (PI) precursor from a plant or a monomer of said PI precursor, wherein said nucleotide sequence hybridizes to the full complement sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 under conditions which comprise hybridization at 68° C., and washing at 68° C. in 2×SSC, 0.1% w/v SDS or in 0.2×SSC, 1% w/v SDS, wherein said precursor comprises at least three PI monomers and wherein at least one of said monomers has a chymotrypsin specific site and at least one other of said monomers has a trypsin specific site, said construct further comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein insecticide.
