Abstract: This invention includes a novel aad-12 transformation event for herbicide tolerance in soybean plants—referred to herein as pDAB4468-0416. This invention includes a heterologous polynucleotide inserted into a specific site within the genome of a soybean cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide 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 (a soybean, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the soybean genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided.

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.

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 (of 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.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for determining the zygosity of corn plants containing one or more brown midrib (BMR) mutations. The disclosure also concerns methods that are useful for enhancing the breeding process for BMR corn. In certain embodiments, compositions and methods for determining the zygosity of corn plants with respect to the bm3 allele.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns specific naturally-occurring mutant maize cad2 genes, which altered genes contribute to the bm1 maize phenotype in particular maize lines. In some embodiments, compositions and methods are provided that utilize a nucleic acid molecule comprising a mutant cad2 gene, and/or markers linked to a mutant cad2gene.

Abstract: Methods of genetic marker assisted selection of Fusarium Ear Rot resistance in maize plants include isolating DNA from the maize plant. The DNA is then assessed to identify plants having one or more of the SSR genetic markers selected from the group consisting of phi333597, umc2013, umc1350, dup013, umc1665, and umc1412. Plants having the Fusarium Ear Rot resistance are then selected. Methods of identifying a first maize plant or germplasm that displays improved resistance to FKR include detecting in the first maize plant or germplasm at least one allele of one or more genetic markers associated with the FKR resistance selected from the group consisting of phi333597, umc2013, umc1350, dup013, umc1665, and umc1412.
