The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules that are unique to maize event MON87429 and transgenic maize plants, maize plant parts, maize seeds, maize cells, and agricultural products containing maize event MON87429 as well as methods of using and detecting maize event MON87429. Transgenic maize plants containing maize event MON87429 exhibit tolerance to inhibitors of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) in the aryloxyphenoxy propionate (FOP) group, synthetic auxins, inhibitors of glutamine synthetase, and inhibitors of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS).

Maize event MON87429 and methods of use thereof

The invention provides compositions comprising polynucleotide molecules encoding certain pesticidal polypeptides which exhibit plant parasitic nematode and/or insect control properties, and are particularly directed to controlling plant parasitic pest species of nematodes and insects known to infest crop plant species. Methods for controlling pests are disclosed in which the toxic proteins are provided in the diet of the targeted plant pests. The invention also provides compositions such as nucleic acids, proteins, and plant and bacterial cells, plants, and seeds containing the nucleic acid and protein compositions, as well as methods and kits for identifying, detecting, and isolating the compositions of the present invention. The invention further provides a method of producing crops from recombinant seeds which contain the polynucleotide molecules encoding the pesticidal polypeptides of the present invention.
