Publication number: 20170342426Abstract: The compositions and methods are provided that enhance the selection of transgenic plants having two T-DNA molecules integrated into a plant genome at different physical and genetic loci. The compositions are DNA constructs that comprise novel arrangements of T-DNA molecules containing genes of interest, positive selectable marker genes, and conditional lethal genes. The methods disclosed herein comprises transforming a plant cell to comprise the DNA constructs of the present invention, regenerating the plant cell into a plant and identifying independant transgene loci, where the selectable marker genes or transgenic elements can be segregated in the progeny.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2017Publication date: November 30, 2017Inventors: Toni Armstrong, Kenneth Barton, Laura J. Crow, Larry A. Gilbertson, Shihshieh Huang, Yong Huang, Brian J. Martinell, Michael W. Petersen, Kenneth J. Piller, Qi Wang, Xudong Ye

Patent number: 7790460Abstract: Methods for the regeneration of cotton plants are disclosed. The use of selective light conditions, novel compositions of media, and solid support matrices during stages of development resulted in increased frequencies of embryogenesis, embryo maturation and embryo germination. The improved process resulted in higher production frequencies of transformation of cotton.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Toni A. Armstrong, David L. DeBoer
