INIR11 TRANSGENIC MAIZE WITH JUNCTION SEQUENCE DELETIONS
Transgenic INIR11 maize plants comprising modifications of the MON89034 maize locus which provide for facile excision of the modified MON89034 transgenic locus or portions thereof, methods of making such plants, and use of such plants to facilitate breeding are disclosed.
1 - 15 . (canceled)
16 : A transgenic maize plant cell comprising a modification of a MON89034 transgenic locus, wherein the modification comprises a deletion in the unmodified 5′ junction polynucleotide of a MON89034 transgenic locus comprising the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19.
17 : The transgenic maize plant cell of claim 16 , wherein said modification of a MON89034 transgenic locus comprises the DNA molecule set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 or an allelic variant thereof having at least 98% sequence identity across the entire length of SEQ ID NO: 2.
18 : A transgenic maize plant part comprising the maize plant cell of claim 16 .
19 : The transgenic maize plant part of claim 18 , wherein said maize plant part is a seed.
20 : A transgenic maize plant comprising the maize plant cell of claim 16 .
21 : A method for obtaining a bulked population of inbred seed comprising selfing the transgenic maize plant of claim 16 and harvesting seed comprising the modification of the MON89034 transgenic locus from the selfed maize plant.
22 : A method of obtaining hybrid maize seed comprising crossing the transgenic maize plant of claim 16 to a second maize plant which is genetically distinct from the first maize plant and harvesting seed comprising the modification of the MON89034 transgenic locus from the cross.
23 : A DNA molecule comprising the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
24 : A processed transgenic maize plant product comprising the DNA molecule of claim 23 .
25 : A biological sample containing the DNA molecule of claim 23 .
