Abstract: The subject invention concerns Bacillus thuringiensis modified Cry1Ca insecticidal toxins and the polynucleotide sequences which encode these toxins. Uses in transgenic plants are described as are methods for protecting crops from insect pest damage.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns the use of endogenous plant RNAi machinery to preferentially or specifically reduce transgene expression. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns specific reduction of transgene expression in male plant tissues, for example, to provide an economical male sterility system of hybrid seed production.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for identifying maize plants that having increased culturability and/or transformability. The methods use molecular markers to identify and to select plants with increased culturability and/or transformability or to identify and deselect plants with decreased culturability and/or transformability. Maize plants generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated 4691436, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line 4691436, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line 4691436 with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line 4691436 with another corn line or plant and to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic corn plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line 4691436, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line 4691436 and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for characterizing variability at field sites and for selecting “zones of uniformity” at field sites with little or no variability to enhance the probability of successful agronomic stress trials.
