  • Publication number: 20210324482
    Abstract: Compositions and methods related to transgenic glyphosate tolerant Brassica plants are provided. Specifically, the present invention provides Brassica plants having a DP-073496-4 event which imparts tolerance to glyphosate. The Brassica plant harboring the DP-073496-4 event at the recited chromosomal location comprises genomic/transgene junctions within SEQ ID NO: 2 or with genomic/transgene junctions as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 12 and/or 13. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the 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 event are provided.

  • Patent number: 9629323
    Abstract: Provided is a canola variety designated 46M34 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof produced from a cross of inbred varieties. Methods for producing a canola variety comprise crossing canola variety 46M34 with another canola plant. Methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 46M34 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the canola seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Canola variety 46M34, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, plant parts and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of canola variety 46M34 are disclosed.
