  • Patent number: 10455834
    Abstract: Soybean event 9582.816.15.1 comprises genes encoding Cry1 F, Cry1 Ac (synpro), and PAT, affording insect resistance and herbicide tolerance to soybean crops containing the event, and enabling methods for crop protection and protection of stored products. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a new insect resistant and herbicide tolerant transgenic soybean transformation event, designated soybean event pDAB9582.816.15.1, comprising cry1 F v3 (cry1 F), cry1 Ac synpro (cry1 Ac) and pat v6 (pat), as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a soybean cell. Representative soybean seed has been deposited with American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) with the Accession No. ATCC Deposit No. PTA-12588. The DNA of soybean plants containing this event includes the junction/flanking sequences described herein that characterize the location of the inserted DNA within the soybean genome.

  • Patent number: 9738904
    Abstract: A breeding stack of soybean event 9582.814.19.1 and soybean event pDAB4468.04.16.1 resulted in the novel soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1::pDAB4468.04.16.1. Soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1::pDAB4468.04.16.1 comprises genes encoding AAD-12, Cry1F, Cry1Ac (synpro), and PAT, affording insect resistance and herbicide tolerance to soybean crops containing the event, and enabling methods for crop protection and protection of stored products.

  • Patent number: 9732353
    Abstract: This invention relates to soybean event pDAB8264.42.32.1 and includes novel expression cassettes and transgenic inserts 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 endpoint TAQMAN PCR assays for the detection of Event pDAB8264.42.32.1 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.
