Abstract: The invention is a novel soybean cultivar designated C910928 with high yield potential, late Group 1 maturity, excellent lodging scores, and tolerance or resistance to several important diseases. The invention relates to the seeds of C910928 and to methods for producing a soybean plant by crossing of the cultivar by itself or with another soybean genotype.
Abstract: An inbred sweet corn line, designated R398D, the plants and seeds of inbred sweet corn line R398D, methods for producing a maize plant produced by crossing the inbred sweet corn line R398D with itself or with another maize plant, and hybrid maize seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred sweet corn line R398D with another maize line or plant.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel DNA sequences isolated from soybean, wheat, cotton, sugar beet, rape, rice, sorghum, and sugar cane that coding for enzymes having protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox) activity. In addition, the present invention teaches modified forms of protox enzymes that are herbicide tolerant. Plants expressing herbicide tolerant protox enzymes taught herein are also provided. These plants may be engineered for resistance to protox inhibitors via mutation of the native protox gene to a resistant form or they may be transformed with a gene encoding an inhibitor-resistant from of a plant protox enzyme.

Abstract: Promoters naturally associated with plant protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox) coding sequences, and derivatives thereof, are provided. These promoters can be used to control the expression of an operably linked heterologous coding sequence in a plant cell. These promoters are particularly useful for expressing modified forms of herbicide target enzymes, particularly modified forms of protox, to achieve tolerance to herbicides that inhibit the corresponding unmodified enzymes. Recombinant DNA molecules and chimeric genes comprising these promoters are provided, as well as plant tissue and plants containing such chimeric genes.
