Patent number: 10752913Abstract: The subject invention relates to a novel gene referred to herein as DSM-2. This gene was identified in Sterptomyces coelicolor A3. The DSM-2 protein is distantly related to PAT and BAR. The subject invention also provides plant-optimized genes encoding DSM-2 proteins, DSM-2 can be used as a transgenic trait to impart tolerance in plants and plant cells to the herbicides glufosinate and bialaphos. One preferred use of the subject genes are as selectable markers. The use of this gene as a selectable marker in a bacterial system can increase efficiency for plant transformations. Use of DSM-2 as the sole selection marker eliminates the need for an additional medicinal antibiotic marker (such as ampicillin resistance) during cloning. Various other uses are also possible according to the subject invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2007Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Justin M.

Patent number: 10745711Abstract: Compositions and methods related to transgenic high oleic acid/ALS inhibitor-tolerant soybean plants are provided. Specifically, the present invention provides soybean plants having a DP-305423-1 event which imparts a high oleic acid phenotype and tolerance to at least one ALS-inhibiting herbicide. The soybean plant harboring the DP-305423-1 event comprises genomic/transgene junctions having at least the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8, 9, 14, 15, 20, 21, 83 or 84. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the DP-305423-1 event provides for an enhanced breeding efficiency and enables the use of molecular markers to track the transgene insert in the breeding populations and progeny thereof. Various methods and compositions for the identification, detection, and use of the soybean DP-305423-1 events are provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: E.

Patent number: 10655140Abstract: Involved is a herbicide-resistant protein, coding gene and use thereof. The herbicide-resistant protein comprises: (a) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; or (b) a protein with the activity of herbicide-resistance which is derived from the amino acid sequence in (a) by replacing and/or deleting and/or adding one or several amino acids in the same. The herbicide-resistant protein of this invention is especially suitable for expression in plants, with broad resistance spectrum to herbicides, especially to phenoxy auxin herbicides.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2016Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: BEIJING DABEINONG BIOTECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Qing Tao, Yechun Wu, Xiaoguang Niu, Xiangting Xie, Jie Pang, Xiaoming Bao

Patent number: 10174337Abstract: The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D and other phenoxy auxin herbicides, but also to aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides. Heretofore, there was no expectation or suggestion that a plant with both of these advantageous properties could be produced by the introduction of a single gene. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention alone or “stacked” together with another herbicide resistance gene, preferably a glyphosate resistance gene, so as to provide broader and more robust weed control, increased treatment flexibility, and improved herbicide resistance management options. More specifically, preferred enzymes and genes for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD (aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase) genes and proteins. No ?-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase enzyme has previously been reported to have the ability to degrade herbicides of different chemical classes and modes of action.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Terry Wright, Justin Lira, Donald Merlo, Nicole Arnold
