  • Publication number: 20130338006
    Abstract: This invention relates to soybean event pDAB8291.45.36.2, which includes a novel expression cassette comprising multiple traits conferring resistance to glyphosate, aryloxyalkanoate, and glufosinate herbicides. This invention also relates in part to methods of controlling resistant weeds, plant breeding, and herbicide tolerant plants. In some embodiments, the event sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. This invention further relates in part to detection methods, including endpoint TaqMan PCR assays, for the detection of Event pDAB8291.45.36.2 in soybeans and related plant material. Some embodiments can perform high throughput zygosity analysis of plant material and other embodiments can be used to uniquely identify the zygosity of and breed soybean lines comprising the event of the subject invention. Kits and conditions useful in conducting these assays are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120110688
    Abstract: This invention relates to soybean event pDAB4472-1606 (Event 1606). This invention includes a novel aad-12 transformation event in soybean plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a soybean cell. This invention also relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins.
