Abstract

[Public concerns over the environmental and health effects of chemical pesticides have intensified the effort to search for alternatives. One attractive option is the use of biopesticides from microorganisms. The role of biopesticides in crop protection is not new. In fact the first such product, based on the insecticidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis, has been in commercial applications for decades. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, scientists have produced transgenic crop plants engineered with insecticidal activity.]
