Abstract

By using a combination of molecular, biochemical and specific insect (Sitophilus weevils) bioassays, we characterised A1b seed entomotoxin genes and proteins from numerous Papilionoideae species, but not from Caesalpinioidae and Mimosoideae species. The origins of this small multigenic family are discussed.
