  • Publication number: 20170275645
    Abstract: The present invention provides herbicide-tolerant plants. The present invention also provides methods for controlling the growth of weeds by applying an herbicide to which herbicide-tolerant plants of the invention are tolerant. Plants of the invention may express an acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase enzyme that is tolerant to the action of acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase enzyme inhibitors.

  • Patent number: 6100448
    Abstract: A method of making recombinant plant cells having reduced variability of expression of foreign genes therein is described herein. The method comprises (a) providing a plant cell capable of regeneration; and (b) transforming the plant cell with a DNA construct comprising an expression cassette, which construct comprises a transcription initiation region, a structural gene positioned downstream from the transcription initiation region and operatively associated therewith, and an insulator (or "boundary element") positioned (i) 5' to the transcription initiation region, (ii) 3' to the structural gene, or (iii) both 5' to the transcription initiation region and 3' to the structural gene. DNA constructs useful for carrying out the method and plant cells and plants produced by the method are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
