The present invention relates to methods and compositions for targeted insertion of polynucleotide molecules into ideal target sites in the genome of a maize plant. The present invention relates to maize recombinant molecules comprising heterologous sequences and also to methods of integrating a DNA of interest into a target maize genomic locus in a maize genome. The present invention also relates to regenerated maize plants or plant parts comprising the recombinant molecules and/or a DNA of interest.

Targeted insertion sites in the maize genome

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for modifying a target site in the genome of a plant cell. Such modifications include integration of a transgene and mutations. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for identifying and enriching for cells which comprise a modified target site.

Methods and compositions for identifying and enriching for cells comprising site specific genomic modifications

A novel transgenic corn elite event designated MZIR098 is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in elite event MZIR098. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of corn elite event MZIR098, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype thereof, and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the elite event MZIR098 genotype with itself or another corn variety.

Soybean plants comprising event SYHT0H2, methods of detecting and using the same, and soybean plants comprising a heterologous insert at the same site as SYHT0H2.

Soybean event SYHT0H2 and compositions and methods for detection thereof

The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and regards various polynucleotides, polypeptides and methods that may be employed to enhance yield in transgenic plants. Specifically the transgenic plants may exhibit any one of the traits consisting of increased yield, increased tolerance to abiotic stress, increased cell growth and increased nutrient use efficiency.

Polynucleotides encoding trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase and methods of use thereof

The present invention relates to the field of plastid transformation. The invention provides transformation vectors and methods to obtain transplastomic plants or algae having a transformed plastid comprising the steps of introducing into plastids a recombinant nucleic acid molecule or vector, and two phases of selection with first selection phase using a non-lethal compound and a second selection phase using a lethal compound. Alternatively, the dual selection method is conducted simultaneously using a lower concentration of the lethal compound.

Multiple shoot structures are induced from plant tissues (e.g., shoot apices or axillary buds on an artificial medium) to produce multiple shoot cultures. These multi-shoot cultures are then transformed by known transformation methods. Plants are subsequently regenerated from the transformed cells. Crops that may be efficiently transformed by this method include plants normally recalcitrant to transformation such as sugar beet, sunflower, soybean, cotton, tobacco, tomato, peanuts, melons, watermelon, squash,and pepper.
