  • TARGETED INSERTION SITES IN THE MAIZE GENOME
    Publication number: 20230114951
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for targeted insertion of polynucleotide molecules into ideal target sites in the genome of a maize plant. The present invention relates to maize recombinant molecules comprising heterologous sequences and also to methods of integrating a DNA of interest into a target maize genomic locus in a maize genome. The present invention also relates to regenerated maize plants or plant parts comprising the recombinant molecules and/or a DNA of interest.

  • GLYCINE REGULATORY ELEMENTS AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230036103
    Abstract: Provided herein are regulatory elements, such as promoters and terminators, derived or obtained from various Glycine species. Such regulatory elements are useful for expression cassettes for plants, such as soybean. Such expression cassettes generally contain a promoter and terminator sequence to control expression of each coding sequence. For certain traits, such as insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, it may be desirable to use promoters and terminators with medium to high constitutive expression.

  • PROMOTERS FOR REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20220325293
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to promoters that have particular utility in driving root-specific expression of heterologous genes that impart increased agronomic, horticultural and/or pesticidal characteristics to a given transgenic plant. The present invention is also drawn to DNA molecules comprising the promoters of the invention and transformed plant tissues containing DNA molecules comprising a promoter of the invention operably linked to a heterologous gene or genes, and seeds thereof.
