Abstract:
Methods and compositions for increasing a plant's resistance to an insect pest such as the corn rootworm are provided. Methods are provided for overexpression of Crw2, or variants thereof, in a host plant or plant cell to increase resistance to an insect pest in a plant such as maize. Methods are also provided for identifying variants of Crw2 that when incorporated into a plant via transgenic or traditional breeding means increase resistance to an insect pest in a plant such as maize. Also provided are methods for increasing resistance by overexpressing Crw1 and Crw2.
