Identification of vip3A-type genes from Bacillus thuringiensis strains and characterization of a novel vip3A-type gene

Abstract

The reported method is a powerful tool to find novel Vip3A proteins from large-scale B. thuringiensis strains. The novel Vip3A protein may be used to control insect pests or resistant insect pests by constructing genetically engineered strains or transgenic plants.
