Abstract:
Provided herein are herbicidal compositions comprising a mixture comprising (a) the choline salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D-choline), (b) a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate), and (c) a salt of 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-butanoic acid (glufosinate). The compositions provide synergistic weed control of undesirable vegetation and improved crop tolerance in 2,4-D-, glyphosate- and glufosinate-tolerant soybeans, corn, or cotton The compositions also provide synergistic weed control of undesirable vegetation in areas including, but not limited to, non-crop, perennial crop, fruiting crop, and plantation crop areas.

Abstract:
A system for high temporal and high spatial resolution monitoring of a field of plants is disclosed. Illustratively, the system includes a plurality of ground based reference objects, a balloon adapted to be positioned above the field of plants, and a balloon positioning system coupled to the balloon and configured to position the balloon relative to the field of plants. An imaging system is supported by the balloon and includes a location system, at least one camera, and at least one gimbal configured to orient the at least one camera. The imaging system captures at least one image of the field of plants including the plurality of ground based reference objects in the at least one image.
Abstract:
This invention relates in part to soybean event pDAB8264.44.06.1 and includes a novel expression cassettes and transgenic inserts comprising multiple traits conferring resistance to glyphosate, aryloxyalkanoate, and glufosinate herbicides. This invention also relates in part to methods of controlling resistant weeds, plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. In some embodiments, the event sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. This invention further relates in part to endpoint TaqMan PCR assays for the detection of Event pDAB8264.44.06.1 in soybeans and related plant material. Some embodiments can perform high throughput zygosity analysis of plant material and other embodiments can be used to uniquely identify the zygosity of and breed soybean lines comprising the event of the subject invention. Kits and conditions useful in conducting these assays are also provided.

Abstract:
An herbicidal composition containing (a) a pyridine or pyrimidine carboxylic acid component and (b) a second cereal or rice herbicide component provides synergistic control of selected weeds.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the use of a grass-active herbicide postemergently applied to AAD1-transformed turfgrasses to selectively control grass weeds in a turf grass crop. Also described is the use of AAD1 as a selectable marker in the production of transgenic turfgrass.
Abstract:
The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D, but also to pyridyloxyacetate 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 “stacked” together with one or more other herbicide resistance genes. The subject invention enables novel combinations of herbicides to be used in new ways. Furthermore, the subject invention provides novel methods of preventing the development of, and controlling, strains of weeds that are resistant to one or more herbicides such as glyphosate. The preferred enzyme and gene for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD-12 (AryloxyAlkanoate Dioxygenase). This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait and selectable marker opportunities.
Abstract:
Cotton event pDAB4468.18.07.1 comprises genes encoding AAD-12 and PAT, affording herbicide tolerance to cotton crops containing the event, and enabling methods for crop protection.
