Abstract

The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules that are unique to maize event MON87429 and transgenic maize plants, maize plant parts, maize seeds, maize cells, and agricultural products containing maize event MON87429 as well as methods of using and detecting maize event MON87429. Transgenic maize plants containing maize event MON87429 exhibit tolerance to inhibitors of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) in the aryloxyphenoxy propionate (FOP) group, synthetic auxins, inhibitors of glutamine synthetase, and inhibitors of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS).

Claims (8)

1 . A composition comprising a pair of DNA molecules comprising a first DNA molecule and a second DNA molecule, wherein the first and second DNA molecules each comprises a fragment of at least 16 consecutive nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 10 and function as DNA primers when used together in an amplification reaction with DNA containing maize event MON87429 to produce an amplicon diagnostic for maize event MON87429 in a sample, wherein the composition further comprises said amplicon and the amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2, wherein a representative sample of seed comprising maize event MON87429 has been deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-124635.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein

(i) the first DNA molecule and the second DNA molecule each comprises a fragment of SEQ ID NO:7; or

(ii) the first DNA molecule and the second DNA molecule each comprises a fragment of SEQ ID NO:8.

3 . A pair of DNA molecules comprising a first DNA molecule and a second DNA molecule, wherein the first DNA molecule comprises SEQ ID NO: 11 and the second DNA molecule comprises SEQ ID NO:12.

4 . A kit for detecting the presence of maize event MON87429 comprising the pair of DNA molecules of claim 3 , wherein a representative sample of seed comprising maize event MON87429 has been deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-124635.

5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO: 1.

6 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO: 2.
