Abstract
The subject invention provides new, plant-optimized polynucleotide sequences that encode pesticidal toxins. The polynucleotide sequences of the subject invention have certain modifications, compared to wild-type sequences, for example, that make them particularly well-suited for optimized expression in plants. Using the polynucleotide sequences described herein, the transformation of plants can be accomplished, using techniques known to those skilled in the art, in order to confer pest resistance upon the plants. In preferred embodiments, the subject invention provides plant-optimized polynucleotide sequences which encode approximately 15 kDa and approximately 45 kDa pesticidal proteins.
