Abstract:
Nucleotide sequences are disclosed encoding novel, insecticidal TIC2160 and TIC3244 proteins, and variants thereof, and related proteins exhibiting Lepidopteran inhibitory activity, as well as fragments thereof. Particular embodiments provide compositions and transformed plants, plant parts, and seeds containing a polynucleotide construct encoding one or more of the toxin proteins within the TIC2160-related protein toxin class.
Abstract:
The invention provides novel recombinant DNA molecules and constructs useful for modulating gene expression in plants, plant cells, seeds, and progeny plants. The invention also provides transgenic plants, plant cells, plant parts, seeds, and progeny plants comprising the recombinant DNA molecules of the invention, along with methods of their use.
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to the field of insect inhibitory toxin proteins. A novel class of proteins exhibiting insect inhibitory activity against agriculturally relevant pests of crop plants and seeds are disclosed. Insecticidal activity is particularly effective against the Coleopteran order of insect pests. Plants, plant parts, and seed are provided containing a polynucleotide construct encoding one or more of the toxin proteins disclosed herein. The proteins are referred to herein variously as the TIC2463-related toxin protein class or family, the TIC2463-related toxin proteins, the TIC2463-related protein genus, toxin proteins related to the TIC2463 toxin protein, proteins related to TIC2463, TIC2463-related toxin polypeptides, TIC2463-related pesticidal proteins, and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel DNA molecules and constructs, including their nucleotide sequences, useful for modulating gene expression in plants and plant cells. The invention also provides transgenic plants, plant cells, plant parts, seeds, and commodity products comprising the DNA molecules operably linked to heterologous transcribable polynucleotides, along with methods of their use.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for deploying refuge seeds with transgenic crop seeds comprising event MON 87411 are provided. The refuge seeds can be non-transgenic seeds of a similar variety to that of the transgenic crop seeds, or the refuge seeds can be a transgenic variety, but lack event MON 87411 found in the transgenic crop seeds and serve as a refuge thereto.
Abstract:
The invention provides for identification and use of certain chloroplast transit peptides for efficient processing and localization of dicamba monooxygenase (DMO) enzyme in transgenic plants. Methods for producing dicamba tolerant plants, methods for controlling weed growth, and methods for producing food, feed, and other products are also provided, as well as seed that confers tolerance to dicamba when it is applied pre- or post-emergence.
Abstract:
The invention provides novel recombinant DNA molecules and constructs useful for modulating gene expression in plants, plant cells, seeds, and progeny plants. The invention also provides transgenic plants, plant cells, plant parts, seeds, and progeny plants comprising the recombinant DNA molecules of the invention, along with methods of their use.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel regulatory elements for use in plants. The present invention also provides DNA constructs containing these novel regulatory elements; transgenic cells, plants, and seeds containing these novel regulatory elements; and methods for preparing and using the same.
Abstract:
The materials and methods disclosed provide for polynucleotide molecules sufficiently divergent from polynucleotides naturally contained in plants, or polynucleotides previously introduced into plants as transgenes to permit trait stacking in plant breeding methods or plant transformation methods. The disclosure also provides for methods and compositions to detect the polynucleotides of the invention in plants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel hybrid promoters comprising a caulimovirus promoter operably linked to one or more of an EF1α, Act8, Act2 or Act11 promoter. The present invention also relates to novel DNA constructs comprising at least one expression cassette which comprises the hybrid promoter thereof. The present invention further relates to transgenic plants/seeds comprising such DNA constructs.
