  • Patent number: 8273959
    Abstract: The present invention provides a DNA construct that confers tolerance to transgenic corn plant. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the PV-ZMGT32(nk603) corn event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 25, 2012
    Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLC
