ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the purification of a group of insecticidally effective toxins isolated from the wasp, Bracon hebetor, characterized by their neurotoxic effect on insect pest and low mammalian toxicity. The cDNA sequences for two of these toxins have been isolated, and the complete coding sequence is provided. This invention also discloses methods for producing recombinant toxins, as well as methods of utilizing these toxins as insecticidal agents.
