  • Publication number: 20080131896
    Abstract: Methods for plant transformation, for improving transformation efficiency, and for producing transgenic plants are provided. The methods comprise crossing a recipient plant from a genetic line of a plant species of interest with a donor plant selected from a transformation competent genetic line of the same plant species or of another closely related plant species to obtain a hybrid plant. Tissues obtained from the hybrid plant are transformation competent. These tissues can then be transformed with one or more nucleotide sequences of interest and selected for transgenic events having the nucleotide sequence of interest integrated within a chromosome derived from the recipient plant. Transformed cells can be selected and transgenic hybrid plants regenerated. The nucleotide sequence of interest can be introgressed into the genetic line from which the original recipient parent was derived, or into other genetic lines. Transformed plants and seeds are additionally provided.

  • Patent number: 6323399
    Abstract: A soybean variety designated 92B37, the plants and seeds of soybean variety 92B37, methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the variety 92B37 with itself or with another soybean plant, and hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety 92B37 with another soybean line or plant, and the creation of variants by mutagenesis or transformation of variety 92B37. This invention also relates to methods for producing other soybean varieties or breeding lines derived from soybean variety 92B37 and to soybean varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods.
