The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and genetics, particularly as it pertains to the genus,. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for screening soybean plants containing one or more quantitative trait loci for disease resistance, species ofhaving such loci and methods for breeding for and screening ofwith such loci. The invention further relates to the use of exotic germplasm in a breeding program.

Method to identify disease resistant quantitative trait loci in soybean and compositions 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.

Pesticidal nucleic acids and proteins and uses thereof

The present invention relates to the isolation and characterization of nucleotide sequences encoding novel insecticidal proteins secreted into the extracellular space fromand related strains. The proteins are isolated from culture supernatants ofand related strains and display insecticidal activity against coleopteran insects including Colorado potato beetle () and Southern Corn Rootworm (). Insecticidal proteins encoded by nucleotide sequences that hybridize to the isolated and characterized nucleotide sequences are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of making and using transgenic cells and plants comprising the novel nucleotide sequence of the invention.

[object Object]

The present invention provides methods and compositions for improving plant health. In particular, application of dicamba or another substrate of DMO, or metabolites thereof including DCSA, to a plant confers tolerance to, or defense against, abiotic or biotic stresses such as oxidative stress including herbicide application, and plant disease, and enhances crop yield. Such application may be in combination with the application of another herbicide such as glyphosate.

Methods and compositions for improving plant health

The present invention relates to the isolation and characterization of nucleotide sequences encoding novel insecticidal proteins secreted into the extracellular space fromand related strains. The proteins are isolated from culture supernatants ofand related strains and display insecticidal activity against lepidopteran insects including European corn borer (ECB), tobacco budworm (TBW) and diamondback moth (DBM). Insecticidal proteins encoded by nucleotide sequences that hybridize under stringent conditions to the isolated and characterized nucleotide sequences are disclosed. Methods are disclosed for making and using transgenic cells and plants comprising the novel nucleotide sequence of the invention.

The invention provides isolated nucleotide sequences fromspecies Xs86068, and, in particular, nucleotide sequences that encode insect inhibitory proteins, the insecticidal proteins, and compositions that comprise one or more of the insecticidal proteins for use in controlling insect infestation.

The present invention relates to a method to control diseases of MON89788 soybean by treatment with formulations and mixtures containing glyphosate. In particular, the formulations and mixtures are effective at controlling fungal diseases of MON89788. More specifically, the invention relates to a method to control the severity of leaf rust disease on MON89788.
