Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The insecticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing lepidopteran, coleopteran, dipteran, fungal, hemipteran, and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: Compositions and methods comprising polynucleotides and polypeptides having EPSP (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate) synthase (EPSPS) activity are provided. In specific embodiments, the sequence has an improved property, such as, but not limited to, improved catalytic capacity in the presence of the inhibitor, glyphosate.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for genome modification of a target sequence in the genome of a cell. The methods and compositions employ a guide polynucleotide/Cas endonuclease system to provide an effective system for modifying or altering target sites within the genome of a cell or organism. Once a genomic target site is identified, a variety of methods can be employed to further modify the target sites such that they contain a variety of polynucleotides of interest. Compositions and methods are also provided for editing a nucleotide sequence in the genome of a cell. Breeding methods and methods for selecting plants utilizing a two component RNA polynucleotide and Cas endonuclease system are also disclosed.
