Abstract: A method of introducing a molecule of interest into an insect or an insect cell includes interacting a cell-penetrating peptide with a molecule of interest to form a complex. The structure is then placed in contact with an insect or an insect cell and allowing uptake of the complex into the insect or insect cell. Alternatively, an RNA polynucleotide (mRNA, or an RNAi-mediating molecule) can be introduced in an insect or an insect cell by interacting a peptide with the polynucleotide of interest to form a complex, allowing uptake of the RNA complex into the insect or insect cell, and expressing the polynucleotide in the insect or an insect cell.

Abstract: A microfluidic sorting device and method employing dielectrophoresis (DEP) induced field flow separations are described herein. The microfluidic sorting device has a microchannel and an array of electrodes disposed along the microchannel. The electrodes may be oriented at an angle relative to the microchannel. Non-mammalian samples such as plant samples flow in the microchannel and through the electrode array. Current is passed through the electrodes causing a DEP force to be exerted on the samples. This force may generate a torque that causes one type of sample to rotate and slide along the electrodes, thus separating the samples by type.

Abstract: The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D, but also to pyridyloxyacetate herbicides. Heretofore, there was no expectation or suggestion that a plant with both of these advantageous properties could be produced by the introduction of a single gene. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention “stacked” together with one or more other herbicide resistance genes. The subject invention enables novel combinations of herbicides to be used in new ways. Furthermore, the subject invention provides novel methods of preventing the development of, and controlling, strains of weeds that are resistant to one or more herbicides such as glyphosate. The preferred enzyme and gene for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD-12 (AryloxyAlkanoate Dioxygenase). This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait and selectable marker opportunities.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates in part to a method for identifying a soybean germline transformant from a population of soybean transformants by incorporating a selection agent within rooting medium used in tissue culture during the soybean transformation process. The soybean germline transformants are selected from a population of soybean transformants which are comprised of a combination of non-germline and germline soybean transformants. The soybean non-germline transformants are identified and eliminated early in the transformation process. The soybean germline transformants are identified and selected for culturing into mature soybean plants. The method is readily applicable for screening and obtaining a soybean germline transformant at an early stage in the soybean transformation process.
