  • Publication number: 20220145312
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a plurality of unique edits in a plant's T1 seed. In one example, a method comprises transforming at least one expression cassette into a plant cell or a plant tissue. The at least one expression cassette may comprise a nucleic acid that encodes a DNA modification enzyme; optionally, a nucleic acid that encodes at least one guide RNA (gRNA); and a floral mosaic (FMOS) regulatory sequence, wherein the FMOS regulatory sequence (i) mediates expression of the DNA modification enzyme in at least one of a floral primordia cell and a floral reproductive organ, and (ii) mediates a plurality of edits in the at least one of the floral primordia and the floral reproductive organ. The method may also include regenerating the plant cell or plant tissue into a T0 plant having a plurality of T1 seed, wherein the T1 seed contain a plurality of unique edits.

    Abstract: Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance or tolerance upon plants towards certain classes of herbicide are provided. In particular these are amine, alcohol and aminal herbicides. The compositions include nucleotide and amino acid sequences for wild-type and mutant glucosyl transferase polypeptides. The polypeptides of the invention are mutant or wild type glucosyl transferases that are capable of catalyzing the transfer of glucose to certain herbicidal structures and that, thereby, confer resistance or tolerance in plants to amine, alcohol and aminal PSII herbicides. Particularly, polypeptides of the invention include mutant or wild-type bx-type UDP glucosyl transferases.
