Abstract: A novel transgenic corn elite event designated MZIR098 is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in elite event MZIR098. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of corn elite event MZIR098, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype thereof, and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the elite event MZIR098 genotype with itself or another corn variety.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a genomic DNA extraction reagent and method for improved extraction of DNA from biological tissue. The extraction reagent of the invention is mixed with disrupted biological tissue to form a DNA extraction solute which is incubated in a DNA extraction step. The extraction reagent includes an alkali component to maintain the DNA extraction solute at a pH of about 10 to 14 substantially throughout the extraction step. The extraction solute is centrifuged to clarify the supernatant. The supernatant containing the extracted DNA is diluted with a neutralizing buffer resulting in a high throughout method of generating high quantities of high quality DNA. Major PCR inhibitors are managed with the unique chemical combinations of the DNA extraction reagent designed and optimized for extraction of DNA from plant tissue and cells.
