  • Patent number: 10455834
    Abstract: Soybean event 9582.816.15.1 comprises genes encoding Cry1 F, Cry1 Ac (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. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a new insect resistant and herbicide tolerant transgenic soybean transformation event, designated soybean event pDAB9582.816.15.1, comprising cry1 F v3 (cry1 F), cry1 Ac synpro (cry1 Ac) and pat v6 (pat), as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a soybean cell. Representative soybean seed has been deposited with American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) with the Accession No. ATCC Deposit No. PTA-12588. The DNA of soybean plants containing this event includes the junction/flanking sequences described herein that characterize the location of the inserted DNA within the soybean genome.
