This invention provides polynucleotide molecules and methods for regulating genes in plants, e. g., by providing RNA for systemic regulation of genes. Various aspects of the invention provide polynucleotide molecules and methods for regulating endogenous genes and transgenes in a plant cell and polynucleotide molecules.

Polynucleotide molecules for gene regulation in plants

The present invention provides novel compositions for use to enhance weed control. Specifically, the present invention provides for methods and compositions that modulate Acetyl-CoA carboxylase in weed species. The present invention also provides for combinations of compositions and methods that enhance weed control.

Methods and compositions for weed control

Provided are novel compositions for use to herbicide activity. Specifically, the present application describes methods and compositions that modulate the expression of a plastid protein import system of a plant. Also provided are combinations of compositions and methods that enhance weed control.

Method for controlling herbicide-resistant plants

The invention provides cropping systems for managing weeds in crop environments. The cropping systems comprise, in one embodiment, transgenic plants that display tolerance to an auxin-like herbicide such as dicamba. Method for minimizing the development of herbicide resistant weeds are also provided.

Cropping systems for managing weeds

3-Hydroxysteroid oxidase controls insects, particularly lepidopteran and boll weevil. Genes encoding for this enzyme may be cloned into vectors for transformation of plant-colonizing microorganisms, thereby providing a method of controlling insect infestation.
