title: Characterization of cry9Da4, cry9Eb2, and cry9Ee1 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis strain T03B001.
abstract: Three cry9 genes, cry9Da4, cry9Eb2, and cry9Ee1, were cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis strain T03B001 using a high-resolution melting analysis method. All three cry9 genes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3), and the expressed products Cry9Eb2 and Cry9Ee1 were shown to be toxic to Plutella xylostella and Ostrinia furnacalis, but not to Helicoverpa armigera or Colaphellus bowringi. The bioassay of Cry9Eb2 and Cry9Ee1 against Cry1Ac-resistant P. xylostella strains indicated that both novel Cry9 toxins exhibited no cross-resistance with Cry1Ac. Cry9Eb2 and Cry9Ee1 can be applied not only for P. xylostella and O. furnacalis control, but also for the Cry1Ac-resistance management of pests.
