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.

Abstract: Maize event HCEM485 is provided, in which plants comprising the event are tolerant to exposure to a glyphosate herbicide. Maize genomic polynucleotides flanking the insert DNA providing glyphosate tolerance are provided. The plant or part thereof having the event comprises a junction region of the insert DNA and maize plant genomic sequences. Methods and primers and probes to detect the presence of the event are provided, as well as kits which employ such primers and probes.

Abstract: Regulatory regions are shown which regulate expression of an operably linked heterologous nucleic acid molecule in plants. Promoters are described which express at lower levels in pollen cells that in other plant cells. Methods of using such promoter to regulate expression of an operably linked nucleic acid molecule are described. A polyadenylation nucleotide sequence from soybean is further shown.

Abstract: A nucleic acid molecule encoding a 5-enolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimic acid synthase (EPSPS) that provides resistance to glyphosate is provided, that has been optimized for expression in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants and preferably in soybeans. Methods of use are also provided.

Abstract: Antibodies immunoreactive to mutant Pseudomonas HPPD are provided, and in an embodiment the mutant HPPD is one in which the wild-type HPPD is substituted at residue 336 with tryptophan for glycine. Also provided are hybridomas producing the antibodies, as well as methods of making and using the antibodies.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a soybean polyubiquitin promoter, polyubiquitin terminator, sequences which hybridize to same and functional fragments thereof. The regulatory element of the invention provide improved expression in plants of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Expression vectors with the regulatory element is the subject of the invention, which may further include an operably linked nucleotide sequence. The invention is further directed to transformed plant tissue including the nucleotide sequence and to transformed plants and seeds thereof. The regulatory element is useful for driving a nucleotide sequence, for example a gene, or antisense expression or the like for the purpose of imparting agronomically useful traits such as, but not limited to, increase in yield, disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, drought tolerance and salt tolerance in plants.

Abstract: Antibodies immunoreactive to double mutant EPSPS are provided, and in an embodiment the double mutant EPSPS is one in which the wild-type EPSPS is substituted at residue 102 with isoleucine and at residue 106 with serine. Also provided are hybridomas producing the antibodies, as well as methods of making and using the antibodies.
