  • Patent number: 9944944
    Abstract: This invention includes a novel aad-12 transformation event for herbicide tolerance in soybean plants—referred to herein as pDAB4468-0416. This invention includes a heterologous polynucleotide inserted into a specific site within the genome of a soybean cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (a soybean, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the soybean genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9738904
    Abstract: A breeding stack of soybean event 9582.814.19.1 and soybean event pDAB4468.04.16.1 resulted in the novel soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1::pDAB4468.04.16.1. Soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1::pDAB4468.04.16.1 comprises genes encoding AAD-12, Cry1F, Cry1Ac (synpro), and PAT, affording insect resistance and herbicide tolerance to soybean crops containing the event, and enabling methods for crop protection and protection of stored products.

  • Patent number: 9402358
    Abstract: This invention relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. This invention includes a novel aad-1 transformation event in corn plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a corn cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (of corn grain, for example).

  • Patent number: 7507339
    Abstract: A cleaner oil change procedure can be achieved by using an adaptor assembly that comprises: a housing unit that defines a cavity volume; a filter mount connected to the housing unit, and adapted to mount a spin-on oil filter; an inner piston slidably engaged with the filter mount and adapted to fit within the cavity volume, wherein the inner piston is moveable between a first position within the cavity volume and a second position substantially outside of the cavity volume; an actuator spring located between the inner piston and the housing unit, wherein the actuator spring exerts a force on the inner piston capable of moving the inner piston from the first position to the second position; a drain valve slidably connected to the inner piston; a drain channel in the housing unit; and a valve spring adapted to force the drain valve to seal against the drain channel and prevent flow of oil through the drain channel when the inner piston is in the first position, wherein the drain valve does not seal against the
