  • Publication number: 20210403934
    Abstract: This invention relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. This invention includes a novel AAD-1 transformation event in corn plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a corn cell. 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. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (or corn grain, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the corn genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided.

  • Patent number: 5160636
    Abstract: A process is presented for treating and detoxifying mixed wastes, especially those containing volatile chemically oxidizable organics, nonvolatile inorganics and radioactive pollutants. The process combines an efficient extraction system, a filtration step, and evaporation system to concentrate the pollutants originally present in the mixed waste and a catalytic oxidation reaction to convert the volatilized organic and inorganic pollutants. A condensate product is obtained that is recycled internally to provide a closed system that discharges only inert gases and treated solid products.
