PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide new, plant-optimized polynucleotide sequences that encode pesticidal toxins and most effectively expressing in plants. SOLUTION: There are provided polynucleotides having a specific base sequence, which encode approximately 15 kDa and approximately 45 kDa pesticidal proteins (δ-endotoxin) derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, in order to confer pest resistance upon the plants such as maize, and the pesticidal proteins.
