Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for improving the utilization of the production potential of transgenic plants by treating the plant with an effective amount of the compound of formula (la) as described herein.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward rice lines containing mutant allele ROXY that exhibit non-transgenic resistance to the herbicide oxyfluorfen. The invention relates to the seeds, plants and plant parts of rice plants containing mutant allele ROXY and to methods for producing a rice plant by crossing rice plants containing mutant allele ROXY with itself or another rice cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a rice plant containing mutant allele ROXY containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic rice plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to methods for producing other rice cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from rice plants containing mutant allele ROXY and to the rice plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to transferring mutant allele ROXY to different genetic backgrounds.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription and translation of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a 3'UTR from Arabidopsis thaliana Ubiquitin-10 gene. Some embodiments relate to a 3' UTR from a Arabidopsis thaliana Ubiquitin-10 gene that functions in plants to terminate transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of insect pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in insect pests, including coleopteran and/or hemipteran pests. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of insect pests, and the plant cells and plants obtained thereby.
Abstract:
Artificially selected strains of insects from the genus Spodoptera exhibiting resistance to a Bacillus thuringiensis derived Vip3A protein are described. Methods for various uses of these strains are also described.
Abstract:
Pesticidal proteins are provided that combine two or more modes of action into a single molecule. These pesticidal proteins therefor exhibit greater efficacy and/or durability of resistance, for the purposes of pest control, and can be utilized for pest control by provision in the diet of a pest organism, or by topical application to crop plants and/or pests. Methods and compositions for producing and using such proteins are also provided.

Abstract:
Pesticidal proteins exhibiting toxic activity against Lepidopteran pest species are disclosed, and include, but are not limited to, TIC6757, TIC6757PL, TIC7472, TIC7472PL, TIC7473, and TIC7473PL. DNA constructs are provided which contain a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding one or more of the disclosed pesticidal proteins. Transgenic plants, plant cells, seed, and plant parts resistant to Lepidopteran infestation are provided which contain recombinant nucleic acid sequences encoding the pesticidal proteins of the present invention. Methods for detecting the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequences or the proteins of the present invention in a biological sample, and methods of controlling Lepidopteran species pests using any of the TIC6757, TIC6757PL, TIC7472, TIC7472PL, TIC7473, and TIC7473PL pesticidal proteins are also provided.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, Hemipteran, fungi and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
