  • Patent number: 7667100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid and amino acid sequences that confer herbicide resistance in plants, as well as herbicide resistance in plants, plant seeds, plant tissues and plant cells comprising such sequences. In a preferred embodiment, the sequences of the present invention confer a tolerant phenotype in plants in response to a chronic and/or acute inhibitin dose of auxinic herbicides. The present invention also provides homologous sequences with a high degree of functional similarity.

  • Patent number: 7456340
    Abstract: A canola cultivar designated NQC02CNX21 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of canola cultivar NQC02CNX21, to the plants of canola NQC02CNX21, to plant parts of canola cultivar NQC02CNX21 and to methods for producing a canola plant produced by crossing canola cultivar NQC02CNX21 with itself or with another canola line. The invention also relates to methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic canola plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to canola cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from canola cultivar NQC02CNX21, to methods for producing other canola cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from canola cultivar NQC02CNX21 and to the canola plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid canola seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing the canola cultivar NQC02CNX21 with another canola cultivar.

  • Patent number: 6956156
    Abstract: An inbred sunflower line, designated H1063R, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred sunflower line H1063R, to the plants of inbred sunflower line H1063R and to methods for producing a sunflower plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line H1063R with itself or another sunflower line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred sunflower lines derived from the inbred H1063R.
