Methods and compositions relating to glyphosate resistant maize plants, including the GA21, GG25, GJ11 and FI117 transformation events, are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using herbicide resistance transformation events in plant breeding procedures. The invention further includes methods of ensuring plant seed purity.

Method for plant breeding

The invention is directed to a method of breeding maize using female plants having a transgene encoding an EPSPS enzyme where the female plants are female reproductively tolerant to treatment with glyphosate but can be made male sterile upon treatment with glyphosate.

Method of plant breeding

The invention provides a process to prepare a recombined transgenic plant from a transgenic plant, wherein the transgene in the recombinant plant has an altered genetic structure relative to the genetic structure of the transgene in the transgenic plant, due to homologous recombination-mediated transgene deletion, amplification or rearrangement.

Homologous recombination-mediated transgene alterations in plants

The current invention provides the GRP (ZMGRP) promoter. Compositions comprising this sequence are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the ZMGRP promoter by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.

Maize glycine rich protein promoter compositions and methods for use thereof

The current invention provides the maize A3 promoter and actin 2 intron. Compositions comprising these sequences are described, as well as transformation constructs derived therefrom. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the A3 promoter directly by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.

Maize A3 promoter and methods for use thereof

The invention provides a process to prepare a recombined transgenic plant from a transgenic plant, wherein the transgene in the recombinant plant has an altered genetic structure relative to the genetic structure of the transgene in the transgenic plant, due to recombination-mediated transgene deletion.

Non-reciprocal recombination-mediated transgene deletion in transgenic plants

The current invention provides the maize RS81 promoter. Compositions comprising this sequence are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the RS81 promoter by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.

Maize RS81 promoter and methods for use thereof

The current invention provides regulatory regions from the rice actin 2 gene. In particular, the current invention provides the rice actin 2 promoter and actin 2 intron. Compositions comprising these sequences are described, as well as transformation constructs derived therefrom. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the rice actin 2 intron and/or promoter directly by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The actin 2 sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.

Rice actin 2 promoter and intron and methods for use thereof

The current invention provides the maize RS324 promoter. Compositions comprising this sequence are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the RS324 promoter by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.
