An engineered chymotrypsin/cathepsin G site in domain I renders Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3A active against Western corn rootworm larvae.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

The western corn rootworm remains one of the most important pests of corn in the United States despite the use of many pest management tools. Cry3A, the first coleopteran-active Bacillus thuringiensis toxin isolated, has not been useful for control of the corn rootworm pest complex. Modification...
