  • Corn event MON810 and compositions and methods for detection thereof
    Publication number: 20040180373
    Abstract: The present invention provides corn that includes the MON810 event, which confers resistance to Lepidopteran insect damage. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the MON810 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the corn genome that resulted in the MON810 event and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site.
    Type: Application

  • Method of controlling plant pathogens
    Patent number: 5516671
    Abstract: Plants can be transformed to express glucose oxidase from Aspergillus sp. and be made resistant to bacterial and fungal pathogens. Optionally, the plants may also express invertase to increase the available glucose as a substrate for enzymatic activity.
