INSECT INHIBITORY TOXIN FAMILY ACTIVE AGAINST HEMIPTERAN AND/OR LEPIDOPTERAN INSECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18412090 titled 'INSECT INHIBITORY TOXIN FAMILY ACTIVE AGAINST HEMIPTERAN AND/OR LEPIDOPTERAN INSECTS

The present invention discloses a genus of insect inhibitory proteins that target Lepidopteran and/or Hemipteran crop pests. These proteins can be used in agricultural systems to control these pests effectively.

• These insect inhibitory proteins are specifically designed to target Lepidopteran and/or Hemipteran crop pests.
• The invention includes methods for using these proteins, nucleotide sequences encoding them, and techniques for detecting and isolating them.
• The proteins can be utilized in agricultural systems to manage and control pest populations effectively.
• By targeting specific pests, these proteins offer a more targeted and environmentally friendly approach to pest control.
• The innovation provides a new tool for farmers to combat crop damage caused by Lepidopteran and Hemipteran pests.

Potential Applications: - Agriculture - Pest control industry - Biotechnology research

Problems Solved: - Crop damage caused by Lepidopteran and Hemipteran pests - Environmental concerns related to traditional pest control methods

Benefits: - Targeted pest control - Reduced crop damage - Environmentally friendly approach to pest management

Commercial Applications: Title: "Insect Inhibitory Proteins for Targeted Pest Control in Agriculture" This technology can be commercialized in the agriculture and pest control industries, offering a more sustainable and effective solution for managing crop pests.

Questions about Insect Inhibitory Proteins: 1. How do these proteins specifically target Lepidopteran and Hemipteran pests? These proteins have properties that make them effective against these specific types of crop pests, providing a targeted approach to pest control.

2. What are the potential implications of using these proteins in agricultural systems? The use of these proteins can lead to reduced crop damage, lower reliance on traditional pesticides, and a more sustainable approach to pest management.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention discloses a genus of insect inhibitory proteins that exhibit properties directed to controlling Lepidopteran and/or Hemipteran crop pests, methods of using such proteins, nucleotide sequences encoding such proteins, methods of detecting and isolating such proteins, and their use in agricultural systems.
