Abstract
We investigated the role of domain III of Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxin Cry1Ac in determining toxicity against Heliothis virescens. Hybrid toxins, containing domain III of Cry1Ac with domains I and II of Cry1Ba, Cry1Ca, Cry1Da, Cry1Ea, and Cry1Fb, respectively, were created. In this way Cry1Ca, Cry1Fb, and to a lesser extent Cry1Ba were made considerably more toxic.
