Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are economically important pests of agricultural crops,
and soybean cyst nematode (SCN) in particular is responsible for a large amount of damage …

Cry proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been successfully used as biopesticides and
in transgenic crops throughout the world. However, resources against the most serious …

We report the generation of transgenic soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] via Agrobacterium‐
mediated gene transfers of a cry1A gene (tic107) from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that exhibits …

Key message Soybean expressing small interfering RNA of SCN improved plant resistance
to SCN consistently, and small RNA-seq analysis revealed a threshold of siRNA expression …

Plant-parasitic nematodes are major pests of agricultural crops, and it is becoming
increasing urgent to find new methods to control them. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been …

Abstract Background Cry8-like from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) encodes an insecticidal
crystal (Cry) protein. Holotrichia parallela (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidae), commonly known …

Our laboratory has demonstrated previously that Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal (Cry)
proteins present in the Cry5 and Cry6 subclades intoxicate free‐living nematodes. In this …

We describe the generation of fertile and homoplasmic soybean plastid transformants,
expressing the Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protoxin Cry1Ab. Transgenes were …

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important crop that provides a sustainable
source of protein and oil worldwide. Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) …

Plant parasitic nematodes cause approximately 157 billion US dollars in losses worldwide
annually. The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is responsible for an …
