Abstract:
The invention provides DNA compositions that relate to transgenic insect resistant maize plants. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DAS-59122-7 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.
Abstract:
The subject disclosure relates in part to endpoint TaqMan® PCR assays for the detection and high throughput zygosity analysis of the fad-3c gene in canola. The subject disclosure further relates, in part, to the use of wild type DNA as a reference for use in determining zygosity. These and other related procedures can be used to uniquely identify the zygosity and variety of canola lines comprising the subject gene. The subject disclosure also provides related kits for determining zygosity from a sample of a canola plant or seed, for example.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides novel compositions and methods for the production and use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains (for example LBA4404) that are deficient in RecA activity relative to the parent strain. Combinations with other gene-deficient-strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens are also disclosed. Specifically, two exemplary s recA minus strains, UIA777 where chloramphenicol resistant gene disrupting the recA gene and UIA770 where kanamycin resistant gene disrupting the recA gene are provided.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to engineered zinc finger proteins that target genes in plants involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. Methods of using such zinc finger proteins in modulating gene expression, gene inactivation, and targeted gene modification are also provided.
Abstract:
Provided are constructs and methods for expressing a transgene in plant cells and/or plant tissues using Zea mays GRMZM2G015295 gene regulatory elements.
Abstract:
Provided are constructs and methods for expressing a transgene in plant cells and/or plant tissues using Zea mays chlorophyll a/b binding gene regulatory elements.
Abstract:
This invention is related to methods and systems for vector assembly for transgenic plants. A uniform modular process is used to reduce cycle time and the methods and systems provided herein can increase cloning throughput using multiple-well plates, for example 96-well plates. In some embodiments, the methods and systems provided herein eliminate or reduce the need for sequencing confirmation because no PCR is involved in the vector assembly process.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to engineered zinc finger proteins that target 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) genes in plants and methods of using such zinc finger proteins in modulating gene expression, gene inactivation, and targeted gene modification. In particular, the disclosure pertains to zinc finger nucleases for targeted cleavage and alteration of EPSPS genes.
