Abstract
The insecticidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is mainly due to the production of crystals containing insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs). These proteins are very selectively active against certain insect species, including some agronomically important pest species. Some ICP genes have been used for bioengineered crop protection, resulting in transgenic crop plants with excellent insect protection.Entities:
