  2. Bacillus thuringiensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis

    Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) is a gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, the most commonly used biological pesticide worldwide. B. thuringiensis also occurs naturally in the gut of caterpillars of various types of moths and butterflies , as well on leaf surfaces, aquatic environments, animal feces, insect-rich environments, flour mills and ...

  3. Delta endotoxins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_endotoxins

    The activated region of the delta toxin is composed of three distinct structural domains: an N-terminal helical bundle domain (InterPro: IPR005639) involved in membrane insertion and pore formation; a beta-sheet central domain involved in receptor binding; and a C-terminal beta-sandwich domain (InterPro: IPR005638) that interacts with the N-terminal domain to form a channel.

  4. Bt cotton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bt_cotton

    Bt cotton was created through the addition of genes encoding toxin crystals in the Cry group of endotoxin. [1] When insects attack and eat the cotton plant the Cry toxins or crystal protein are dissolved due to the high pH level of the insect's stomach.

  5. Cry1Ac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry1Ac

    Cry1Ac protoxin is a crystal protein produced by the gram-positive bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) during sporulation.Cry1Ac is one of the delta endotoxins produced by this bacterium which act as insecticides.

  6. Genetically modified brinjal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_brinjal

    The genetically modified brinjal is a suite of transgenic brinjals (also known as eggplant or aubergine) created by inserting a crystal protein gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis into the genome of various brinjal cultivars.

  7. Cry34Ab1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry34Ab1

    Cry34Ab1 is one member of a binary Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal protein set isolated from Bt strain PS149B1. [1] The protein exists as a 14 kDa aegerolysin that, in presence of Cry35Ab1, exhibits insecticidal activity towards Western Corn Rootworm.

  8. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis...

    Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk) is a group of bacteria used as biological control agents against lepidopterans (moths and butterflies). Btk, along with other B. thuringiensis products, is one of the most widely used biological pesticides due to its high specificity; it is effective against lepidopterans, and it has little to no effect on nontarget species.

  9. Genetically modified tomato - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_tomato

    The insecticidal toxin from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis has been inserted into a tomato plant. [23] When field tested they showed resistance to the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta), tomato fruitworm (Heliothis zea), the tomato pinworm (Keiferia lycopersicella) and the tomato fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera).
