Patent
This invention relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. This invention includes a novel aad-1 transformation event in corn plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a corn cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (or corn grain, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the corn genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided.
1. A plant part of a transgenic corn plant, said part comprising a recombinant nucleic acid consisting of SEQ ID NO: 29 located in said plant's genome, wherein said corn plant's genome comprises a nucleic acid consisting of residues 1874-6689 of SEQ ID NO: 29 inserted between said plant's genomic sequences comprising residues 1-1873 of SEQ ID NO:29 and residues 6690-8557 of SEQ ID NO:29 to produce said recombinant nucleic acid consisting of SEQ ID NO: 29.
