  • TRANSGENIC SUGAR BEET EVENT BV_CSM63713 AND METHODS FOR DETECTION AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20250295081
    Abstract: A transgenic sugar beet event, Bv_CSM63713, is provided. Transgenic plant cells, plant parts, plants, seeds, agricultural and commodity products containing event Bv_CSM63713 are also provided. Recombinant DNA molecules unique to the event Bv_CSM63713, and methods of using and detecting Bv_CSM63713 are also provided. Sugar beet plants containing the event Bv_CSM63713 exhibit tolerance to benzoic acid auxins such as dicamba; inhibitors of EPSPS such as glyphosate; and inhibitors of glutamine synthetase such as glufosinate.

  • ALS INHIBITOR HERBICIDE TOLERANT BETA VULGARIS MUTANTS
    Publication number: 20240401073
    Abstract: The present invention relates Beta vulgaris plants or plant parts having a mutated endogenous acetolactate synthase (ALS) protein comprising at position 371 an amino acid different than aspartate (D). Such plants are characterized in having increased tolerance to ALS inhibitor herbicides. The invention further relates to methods for generating such plants as well as methods for identifying such plants.

  • USE OF GLYPHOSATE HERBICIDE FOR CONTROLLING UNWANTED VEGETATION IN BETA VULGARIS GROWING AREAS
    Publication number: 20220039390
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a glyphosate herbicide for controlling unwanted vegetation in Beta vulgaris growing areas in which the Beta vulgaris plants comprise an endogenous allele encoding an epsp synthase having at position 179 an amino acid different from proline.

  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WEED BEETS AND OTHER WEEDS
    Publication number: 20210352863
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling bolters in Beta vulgaris growing areas, comprising planting Beta vulgaris plants or sowing Beta vulgaris seed comprising an endogenous allele encoding an epsp synthase having at position 179 an amino acid different from proline and applying a glyphosate herbicide to the growing plants.

  • INHIBITION OF BOLTING AND FLOWERING OF A BETA VULGARIS PLANT
    Publication number: 20210269817
    Abstract: The present invention provides means for inhibiting the bolting and flowering of a Beta vulgaris plant, including an isolated nucleic acid, which can be used to produce a transgenic Beta vulgaris plant, where bolting and flowering is inhibited after vernalization. Furthermore, the invention discloses vectors, transgenic and non-transgenic, non-bolting plants and parts thereof, and methods for producing such plants.
