Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant insecticidal gene for protecting agricultural crops and a method for protection from insect pests by modifying Chimeric d-endotoxin protein Cry1EC to provide mCry1EC gene having SEQ ID NO.2 for a broader insecticidal host range and expressing the peptide in crop plants. The modification includes mutations at positions 475,476, and 483 in Domain III, wherein the amino acid Leucine, Glycine, and Lysine are replaced with Valine, Tryptophan, and Threonine respectively. The transgenic crop plant causes insect mortality upon feeding and renders protection from the plurality of insect pests.
