  • Method of producing transgenic maize using direct transformation of commercially important genotypes
    Publication number: 20060117407
    Abstract: Methods for transformation of maize with nucleic acid sequences of interest are disclosed. The method involves subjecting immature zygotic embryos or Type I callus to high velocity microprojectile bombardment. The method is capable of producing transformed maize lines of commercial importance and their hybrid combinations.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 2, 2005
    Publication date: June 1, 2006

  • Synthetic DNA sequence having enhanced insecticidal activity in maize
    Publication number: 20060021095
    Abstract: DNA sequences optimized for expression in plants are disclosed. The DNA sequences preferably encode for an insecticidal polypeptides, particularly insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis. Plant promoters, particular tissue-specific and tissue-preferred promoters are also provided. Additionally disclosed are transformation vectors comprising said DNA sequences. The transformation vectors demonstrate high levels of insecticidal activity when transformed into maize.
