ABSTRACT:
A recombinantly derived insect chitinase gene is inserted into a vector for host expression of the chitinase protein, and may be utilized according to methods for controlling a population of insect pests. A recombinant virus is provided for this purpose, as well as a recombinant plant. Recombinantly derived insect chitinase may also be expressed in host cells or larvae for subsequent purification.
