  • AAD-12 event 416, related transgenic soybean lines, and event-specific identification thereof
    Patent number: 9944944
    Abstract: This invention includes a novel aad-12 transformation event for herbicide tolerance in soybean plants—referred to herein as pDAB4468-0416. This invention includes a heterologous polynucleotide inserted into a specific site within the genome of a soybean cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (a soybean, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the soybean genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided.

  • Insect resistant and herbicide tolerant breeding stack of soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1 and pDAB4468.04.16.1
    Patent number: 9738904
    Abstract: A breeding stack of soybean event 9582.814.19.1 and soybean event pDAB4468.04.16.1 resulted in the novel soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1::pDAB4468.04.16.1. Soybean event pDAB9582.814.19.1::pDAB4468.04.16.1 comprises genes encoding AAD-12, Cry1F, Cry1Ac (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.
