Allium fistulosum leaf agglutinin (AFAL) recombinant protein, its encoding nucleotides, primers and the process of preparation thereof: Nucleic acid sequence encoding Allium fistulosum leaf agglutinin (AFAL) is disclosed. The invention provides Allium fistulosum leaf agglutinin (AFAL) recombinant protein, its encoding nucleotides, primers and the process of preparation thereof, said recombinant protein is useful for insect control and haemagglutination activity. AFAL is found more toxic to sap sucking insect pest Aphis gossypii (cotton aphid) and Bemisia tabaci (whiteflies) as compared to known Allium sativum leaf agglutinin. AFAL can be used in the development of transgenic plants for resistance against sap sucking and chewing pests.
