Patent number: 8324457Abstract: Compositions and methods related to transgenic glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant soybean plants are provided. Specifically, soybean plants having a 3560.4.3.5 event which imparts tolerance to glyphosate and at least one ALS-inhibiting herbicide are provided. The soybean plant harboring the 3560.4.3.5 event at the recited chromosomal location comprises genomic/transgene junctions having at least the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:10 and/or 11. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the 3560.4.3.5 event provides for an enhanced breeding efficiency and enables the use of molecular markers to track the transgene insert in the breeding populations and progeny thereof. Various methods and compositions for the identification, detection, and use of the soybean 3560.4.3.5 events are provided. Methods and compositions for increasing yield are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignees: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., E.I. duPont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Anthony D. Guida, Jr., Christine B. Hazel, Jeffrey M. Hegstad, Zhongsen Li, Mark D. Vogt, Aiqiu Xing

Patent number: 7838263Abstract: This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to at least one herbicide. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to at least one herbicide, and methods of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently select the best lines for breeding strategies by avoiding sensitive lines. Methods of identifying a plant with an Nsf1 locus using molecular markers are described.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: E.

Publication number: 20080234130Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided related to improved plants that are tolerant to more than one herbicide. Particularly, the invention provides plants that are tolerant of glyphosate and are tolerant to at least one ALS inhibitor, and methods of use thereof. The glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants comprise a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide that confers tolerance to glyphosate and a polynucleotide that encodes an ALS inhibitor-tolerant polypeptide. In specific embodiments, a plant of the invention expresses a GAT polypeptide and an HRA polypeptide. Methods to control weeds, improve plant yield, and increase transformation efficiencies are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2006Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicants: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., E.I. du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Billy Fred McCutchen, Linda A.
