The present disclosure provides a method for treating rice. The method comprises the steps of: providing a domestic rice crop plant and at least one ACCase-inhibiting aryloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicide selected from the group consisting of quizalofop or an ester thereof, haloxyfop, fluazifop or an ester thereof, clodinafop, clodinafop-propargyl, diclofop, and diclofop-methyl; applying an effective amount (measured in g AI/Ha) of the at least one aryloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicide to the domestic rice crop plant, post-emergence; thereby creating a treated rice plant; and growing the resulting treated rice plant.

Method for treating post-emergent rice

The present invention relates compositions and methods for identifying, isolating, and characterizing herbicide tolerant mutations in monocot plastidic acetyl-CoA carboxylases using a model system.

Methods and compositions for isolating, identifying and characterizing monocot plastidic accase herbicide tolerant mutations using a model system

The invention provides isolated polynucleotides, specifically Cyclin D polynucleotides, and their encoded proteins that are involved in cell cycle regulation. The invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants, and antibody compositions. The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to altering cell cycle protein content and/or composition of plants for the purpose of increasing transformation efficiency.

Cyclin D polynucleotides, polypeptides and uses thereof

Nucleic acid sequences encoding two RAD51 recombinases active in maize plants are provided. cDNA sequences including the ZmRAD51 coding sequences and unique 3'-untranslated regions which are useful as RFLP probes, are also provided. The production of plasmids containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a ZmRAD51 fusion protein, as well as the use of the plasmids to introduce the ZmRAD51 coding sequence into a host cell, such as maize cell, are also disclosed.

RAD51 polypeptides

A method for the rapid isolation and identification of the DNA sequence of transposable element-tagged genes is provided. The method comprises a modified AFLP approach using a transposable element-anchored amplification to identify and clone an amplification product that is associated with a mutant phenotype. Once cloned, the amplification product of interest may be used to screen a cDNA library directly or may be sequenced and compared to available databases for sequence homology. A modification of this approach provides a method for the identification of the location of an additional type of insertion event into genomic DNA, more specifically transgene insertion into the genome of a host organism.

Nucleic acid sequences encoding two RAD51 recombinases active in maize plants are provided. cDNA sequences including the ZmRAD51 coding sequences and unique 3&prime;-untranslated regions which are useful as RFLP probes, are also provided. The production of plasmids containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a ZmRAD51 fusion protein, as well as the use of the plasmids to introduce the ZmRAD51 coding sequence into a host cell, such as maize cell, are also disclosed.

Nucleotide sequences encoding maize RAD51

The invention provides isolated polynucleotides and their encoded proteins that are involved in cell cycle regulation. The invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants, and antibody compositions. The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to altering cell cycle protein content and/or composition of plants.

The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to altering RecA content and/or composition of plants. The invention provides isolated nucleic acids and their encoded proteins that are homologous to bacterial RecA genes. The invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants, and antibody compositions. The plant recA polynucleotides and their cognate products are useful for gene targeting in maize and other plant species and for use as a molecular marker.

Maize orthologues of bacterial RecA proteins

The invention relates to genes isolated from Arabidopsis that code for proteins essential for normal plant development. The invention also includes the methods of using these proteins to discover new herbicides, based on the essentiality of the genes for normal growth and development. The invention can also be used in a screening assay to identify inhibitors that are potential herbicides. The invention is also applied to the development of herbicide tolerant plants, plant tissues, plant seeds, and plant cells.
