Abstract:

The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D, but also to a pyridyloxyacetate herbicide. 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-13 (AryloxyAlkanoate Dioxygenase). This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait and selectable marker opportunities.

Abstract:

The subject invention relates to a novel gene referred to herein as DSM-2. This gene was identified in 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.

US Classification:

504206, 504247, 504253, 504344

Abstract:

The subject invention relates in part to the control of AAD-1 monocot volunteers in fields planted with dicot crops such as soybeans or cotton. According to some embodiments of the subject invention, cyclohexanedione herbicides are selected as being an effective tool for controlling AAD-1 volunteers, as AAD genes do not impart tolerance to this class of graminicide chemistry. In addition, imidazolinone-class herbicides can be used in some preferred embodiments for selective control of conventional or herbicide-tolerant varieties of volunteer corn. AAD-1 corn comprising Event DAS-40278-9 is used in some particularly preferred embodiments.
