The invention provides compositions comprising polynucleotide molecules encoding certain pesticidal polypeptides which exhibit plant parasitic nematode and/or insect control properties, and are particularly directed to controlling plant parasitic pest species of nematodes and insects known to infest crop plant species. Methods for controlling pests are disclosed in which the toxic proteins are provided in the diet of the targeted plant pests. The invention also provides compositions such as nucleic acids, proteins, and plant and bacterial cells, plants, and seeds containing the nucleic acid and protein compositions, as well as methods and kits for identifying, detecting, and isolating the compositions of the present invention. The invention further provides a method of producing crops from recombinant seeds which contain the polynucleotide molecules encoding the pesticidal polypeptides of the present invention. L'invention porte sur des compositions comprenant des molécules de polynucléotide codant pour certains polypeptides pesticides qui présentent des propriétés de lutte contre des insectes et/ou nématodes phytoparasites et qui sont en particulier destinées à lutter contre des espèces phytoparasites de nématodes et insectes connus pour infester les espèces de plantes cultivées. L'invention porte également sur des procédés de lutte contre des organismes nuisibles dans lesquels les protéines toxiques sont fournies dans l'alimentation des phytoravageurs ciblés. L'invention porte également sur des compositions telles que des compositions d'acides nucléiques et de protéines et des cellules végétales et bactériennes, des plantes et des semences contenant les compositions d'acides nucléiques et de protéines, ainsi que sur des procédés et des kits pour l'identification, la détection et l'isolement des compositions de la présente invention. L'invention porte en outre sur un procédé de production de cultures à partir de semences recombinées qui contiennent les molécules de polynucléotide codant pour les polypeptides pesticides de la présente invention.
