ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding orally activeAndroctonus amoreuxipesticidal polypeptides. Compositions include novel nucleotide sequences encodingAndroctonus amoreuxipesticidal polypeptides, and biologically active variants thereof. Further provided are methods for modulating the pesticide resistance of plants using the nucleotide sequences disclosed herein. One method comprises stably transforming into the genome of a plant cell a nucleotide sequence of the present invention operably linked to a heterologous promoter and regenerating a stably transformed plant that expresses the nucleotide sequence. An additional method comprises incorporating a nucleotide sequence of the present invention operably linked to a heterologous promoter into a microorganism and applying said microorganism to the environment of a plant.
