Publication number: 20120015809Abstract: The subject invention provides materials and methods for the control of pests, including fungi, oomycetes, nematodes, and weeds, of numerous crops, plants and forests. Advantageously, pests in the soil can be controlled without phytotoxicity. In certain embodiments, the subject invention provides new pesticidal compositions. In preferred embodiments, these compositions comprise an active ingredient component that is formic acid and/or acetic acid, and/or salts thereof. The composition further comprises a second acidic component that enhances the pesticidal activity of the first active ingredient component.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2010Publication date: January 19, 2012Inventors: Zhenli L. He, Erin N. Rosskopf, Youjian Lin, Charles A. Powell, Cuifeng Hu, Fanny Iriarte, Nancy Kokalis-Burelle

Publication number: 20110289620Abstract: This invention relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. This invention includes a novel aad-1 transformation event in corn plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a corn cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (of corn grain, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the corn genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided. The subject invention also includes related methods of controlling weeds.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2011Publication date: November 24, 2011Applicant: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Yunxing Cui, Jill Rene Bryan, Donald Glynn Maum, Terry Wright, Jennifer L.
