  • NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE OF TRANSGENIC MAIZE EVENT ME240913 THAT EXPRESSES CRY1DA PROTEIN, CELL, PLANT AND TRANSGENIC SEED, USES THEREOF, PLANT PRODUCT, METHOD, KIT AND AMPLICON FOR DETECTING THE EVENT, AND METHODS TO PRODUCE A TRANSGENIC PLANT AND TO CONTROL LEPIDOPTERAN INSECT PESTS
    Publication number: 20230135492
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel transgenic maize event expressing the truncated or modified Cry1Da insecticidal protein designated as Event ME240913. The invention relates to nucleic acids that are unique to Event ME240913. Primers, amplicon, methods and kits for detecting the presence of Event ME240913 are also defined. The invention further relates to maize plants containing said event, uses thereof, methods and compositions for controlling lepidopteran insect pests. The invention describes a maize event that has shown a high level of plant protection against feeding damage caused by Lepidoptera, including S. frugirperda, as well as Cry1F resistant insects. The event of the invention was shown to be highly toxic to S. frugirperda.

  • Sorghum aluminum tolerance gene,
    Patent number: 7582809
    Abstract: The major aluminum tolerance gene, the SbMATE gene, encodes a root citrate efflux transporter that is Al-inducible at the level of gene transcription and is also Al-activated at the level of protein function. High level of expression of the SbMATE gene and the protein was found in roots. SbMATE orthologs with high degree of sequence homology were found in other higher plants, including rice. Successful transformation of Arabidopsis provides strong evidence that SbMATE can work across species to enhance tolerance to Al in other important crops grown in localities worldwide where Al3+ cations are present in acid soils and are toxic to plants.
