US Patent:

7371940, May 13, 2008

Filed:

Oct 23, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/530234

Inventors:

Daniel Murray Ellis - Cary NC, US
David Vincent Negrotto - Durham NC, US
Liang Shi - Chapel Hill NC, US
Frank Arthur Shotkoski - Cary NC, US
Carla Randall Thomas - Taylors SC, US

Assignee:

Syngenta Participations AG

International Classification:

A01H 5/00
C12N 15/11

US Classification:

800314, 800302, 536 231, 536 243

Abstract:

The present application relates to an insect resistant transgenic cotton plant. In particular, it relates to a specific event, designated COT102. The application also relates to polynucleotides which are characteristic of the COT102 event, plants comprising said polynucleotides, and methods of detecting the COT102 event. The COT102 event exhibits a novel genotype comprising two expression cassettes. The first cassette comprises a suitable promoter for expression in plants operably linked to a gene that encodes a VIP3A insecticidal toxin, useful in controlling a wide spectrum of lepidopteran insect pests, and a suitable polyadenylation signal. The second cassette comprises a gene which, when expressed, can be used as a selectable marker.

Inventors:

John Ryals - Cary NC, US
Terrence Delaney - Ithaca NY, US
Leslie Friedrich - Apex NC, US

International Classification:

A01H005/00
C12Q001/68
C07H021/04
C12N009/48
C12N005/04

US Classification:

800/279000, 435/212000, 435/410000, 435/006000, 536/023200

Abstract:

The invention concerns the location and characterization of a gene (designated NIM1) that is a key component of the SAR pathway and that in connection with chemical and biological inducers enables induction of SAR gene expression and broad spectrum disease resistance in plants. The invention further concerns transformation vectors and processes for overexpressing the NIM1 gene in plants. The transgenic plants thus created have broad spectrum disease resistance.

Assignee:

International Classification:

C12Q 168
C07H 2104
C12N 121
C12P 2100

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

The invention is a method for identifying and cloning bacterial genes that are responsive to the presence of a plant host, comprising mutating a bacterial culture with a transposon containing a promoterless marker gene, exposing the bacterial mutants to root exudates, other plant-derived substances or plants, and identifying mutants that have a transposon-associated gene inducible by the plant. These mutants may be used to clone and characterize the promoters and the associated wild-type bacterial genes responsive to the plant.
