Patent number: 9816098Abstract: Compositions and methods related to transgenic high oleic acid/ALS inhibitor-tolerant soybean plants are provided. Specifically, the present invention provides soybean plants having a DP-305423-1 event which imparts a high oleic acid phenotype and tolerance to at least one ALS-inhibiting herbicide. The soybean plant harboring the DP-305423-1 event comprises genomic/transgene junctions having at least the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8, 9, 14, 15, 20, 21, 83 or 84. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the DP-305423-1 event provides for an enhanced breeding efficiency and enables the use of molecular markers to track the transgene insert in the breeding populations and progeny thereof. Various methods and compositions for the identification, detection, and use of the soybean DP-305423-1 events are provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANYInventors: Anthony J. Kinney, Kevin L. Stecca, Knut Meyer, Kent Brink, Robert F. Cressman, Natalie N. Weber, Cathy Xiaoyan Zhong
