  • Inbred corn line NPAF4467
    Patent number: 7737338
    Abstract: Basically, this invention provides for an inbred corn line designated NPAF4467, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line NPAF4467 with plants of another corn plants. The invention relates to the various parts of inbred NPAF4467 including culturable cells. This invention also relates to methods for introducing transgenic transgenes into inbred corn line NPAF4467 and plants produced by said methods.

  • Inbred Maize line 2044BT
    Patent number: 6573438
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a novel DNA construct comprising an expression cassette having a constitutive promoter which functions in plant cells operably linked to a maize alcohol dehydrogenase intron, a DNA sequence of a gene encoding a Cry 1Ab protein, and a terminator functional in plants and optionally further comprising a second cassette including a promoter which functions in plants operably linked to a maize alcohol dehydrogenase intron, a DNA sequence of a gene encoding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, and a terminator functional in plants wherein the two cassettes are transcribed in the same direction. Also provided are transgenic plants, particularly maize plants, having such a construct stably incorporated into their genomes.

  • Inbred maize line NP948
    Patent number: 6222104
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a novel DNA construct comprising an expression cassette having a constitutive promoter which functions in plant cells operably linked to a maize alcohol dehydrogenase intron, a DNA sequence of a gene encoding-a Cry 1Ab protein, and a termninator functional in plants and optionally further comprising a second cassette including a promoter which functions in plants operably linked to a maize alcohol dehydrogenase intron, a DNA sequence of a gene encoding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, and a terminator functional in plants wherein the two cassettes are transcribed in the same direction. Also provided are transgenic plants, particularly maize plants, having such a construct stably incorporated into their genomes.
