  • Patent number: 8685677
    Abstract: The invention relates in part to methods of detecting an AAD-12 soybean event. The subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (of soybeans, for example). Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided. More specifically, the present invention relates in part to an endpoint TaqMan PCR assay for the AAD-12 soybean event. Some embodiments are directed to assays that are capable of high throughput zygosity analysis. The subject invention further relates, in part, to the discovery of a preferred reference gene for use in determining zygosity. This invention also relates in part to plant breeding using any of the subject methods. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits. The subject procedures can be used to uniquely identify soybean lines comprising the event of the subject invention.

  • Publication number: 20130324408
    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.

  • Publication number: 20120244533
    Abstract: This invention relates in part to detecting herbicide tolerant plants—more specifically, an aad-1 transformation event in corn plants. The subject invention also provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (of corn grain, for example). Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided. The subject invention also relates in part to plant breeding using the subject methods. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits. More specifically, the invention relates in part to an endpoint TaqMan PCR assay for AAD-1 corn event 40278-9. Some embodiments are directed to assays that are capable of high throughput zygosity analysis. The subject invention further relates, in part, to the use of a preferred reference gene for use in determining zygosity.
