Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems taking advantage of bioinformatic investigations to identify candidate signature peptides for quantitative multiplex analysis of complex protein samples from plants, plant parts, and/or food products using mass spectroscopy. Provided are use and methods for selecting candidate signature peptides for quantitation using a bioinformatic approach. Also provided are systems comprising a chromatography and mass spectrometry for using selected signature peptides.

Abstract: Described herein are murine monoclonal antibodies and methods useful for determining and quantitating the presence of Cry1Ca delta endotoxin. The claimed antibodies specifically bind the core toxin region making them suitable for detecting the native full length Cry1Ca toxin as well as the amino core toxin and N-terminal 29 residue truncated forms.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for quantitative multiplex analysis of complex protein samples from plants using mass spectroscopy. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns methods for maintaining a transgenic plant variety, for example by analyzing generations of a transgenic plant variety for selective and sensitive quantitation of multiplexed transgenic proteins.

Abstract: Described herein are monoclonal antibodies and methods useful for determining and quantitating the presence of a phosphinothricin-N-acetyl-transferase enzyme. The claimed antibodies and methods are particularly useful for identifying and quantitating the presence of phosphinothricin-N-acetyl-transferase expressed in trangenic plants.

Abstract: Ethers and esters of cyanohydrins that contain optically detectable moieties are highly effective for detecting, monitoring, and measuring the activity of enzymes that cause the cleavage of certain types of substrates. The cyanohydrins function as proaldehydes and proketones, spontaneously converting to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, which provide a large increase in optical detectability relative to both the starting esters and ethers and the cyanohydrins.

Abstract: The phenoxybenzyl moiety of conventional pyrethroids is a major site of oxidative metabolism in resistant tobacco budworms, Heliothis virescens (F.). This group was replaced with several P450 monooxygenase-inhibiting or oxidatively blocked groups. Several isomers were tested as insecticides or synergists for insecticides against tobacco budworms that were insecticide-susceptible or that expressed metabolic resistance to cypermethrin. Several compounds with insecticidal and synergistic activities were found. Activity was dependent on both geometric and stereochemical configurations. These compounds may be used in diagnosing the mechanism of resistance in field strains with acquired resistance to pyrethroids. Knowledge of the mechanism underlying acquired insecticide resistance helps farmers to control emerging resistant strains.
