  • Soybean transformation method
    Patent number: 10214746
    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.

  • Synthetic bi-directional plant promoter
    Patent number: 9988638
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a minimal core promoter element from a Arabidopsis thaliana Ubiquitin-10 gene promoter or Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus promoter, and the full-length nucleotide sequence elements from a Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus promoter. Some embodiments relate to a synthetic CsVMV bi-directional promoter that functions in plants to promote transcription of two operably linked nucleotide sequences.

  • ACCELERATED PRODUCTION OF EMBRYOGENIC CALLUS, SOMATIC EMBRYOS, AND RELATED TRANSFORMATION METHODS
    Publication number: 20180110196
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for the production of soybean embryogenic callus and somatic embryos. The invention further provides methods of transforming explants that includes generating somatic embryo tissue. The transgenic somatic embryos produced can be used for regenerating stable transgenic plants.
