Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Pesticidal Crystal Proteins
E. Schnepf,Neil Crickmore,J. Van Rie,Didier Lereclus,J. Baum,Jerald S. Feitelson,Daniel R. Zeigler,Donald H. Dean +7 more
TL;DR: Researchers are reporting promising results in engineering more-useful toxins and formulations, in creating transgenic plants that express pesticidal activity, and in constructing integrated management strategies to insure that these products are utilized with maximum efficiency and benefit.

Biology, Ecology, and Management of the Diamondback Moth
N. S. Talekar,Anthony M. Shelton +1 more
TL;DR: Lack of parasitoids in a particular area may have occurred because the diamondback moth is better able than its natural-enemy complex to become established in newly planted cmcifers.

Revision of the Nomenclature for the Bacillus thuringiensis Pesticidal Crystal Proteins
Neil Crickmore,Daniel R. Zeigler,Jerald S. Feitelson,E. Schnepf,J. Van Rie,Didier Lereclus,J. Baum,Donald H. Dean +7 more
TL;DR: A new nomenclature, based on hierarchical clustering using amino acid sequence identity, is proposed, consisting of 133 crystal proteins comprising 24 primary ranks are systematically arranged.

TL;DR: In this article, a synthetic gene encoding a truncated version of the CryIA(b) protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis was introduced into immature embryos of an elite line of maize using microprojectile bombardment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxins.
TL;DR: The use of synthetic organic insecticides developed during the last half of this century may pose risks to human health and can cause environmental damage, Consequently, interest has developed in using alternative strategies for insect pest management, including Bacillus thuringiensis toxins as insecticides.

Characterization of the Coleopteran–Specific Protein Gene of Bacillus thuringiensis Var. tenebrionis
Sylvia A. McPherson,Frederick J. Perlak,Roy L. Fuchs,Pamela G. Marrone,Paul B. Lavrik,David A. Fischhoff +5 more
TL;DR: The gene encoding the coleopteran–specific insect control protein from Bacillus thuringiensis var.

A 20-kilodalton protein is required for efficient production of the Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis 27-kilodalton crystal protein in Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The effect of the 20-k da protein gene on various fusions of lacZ to the 27-kDa protein gene suggests that the 20,kDaprotein acts after the initiation of translation of the 27,kilodalton protein gene.
