WebA classification for crystal protein genes of Bacillus thuringiensis is presented. Criteria used are the insecticidal spectra and the amino acid sequences of the encoded proteins. Fourteen genes are distinguished, encoding proteins active against either Lepidoptera (cryI), Lepidoptera and Diptera (cryII), Coleoptera (cryIII), or Diptera (cryIV).

WebJun 19, 2024 · The cryII gene is an example of a type of cry gene that encodes a CryII Protein. The CryII protein is toxic to Lepidoptera insects which can attack Helicoverpa … WebSolution: Bt toxin genes were isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis and incorporated into several crop plants such as cotton. Two cry genes, cryIAc and cryIIAb have been incorporated in cotton. The genetically modified crop is called Bt cotton as it contains Bt toxin genes against cotton bollworms. drawbridge\u0027s y
