Plants, plant cells, and seeds are described herein that grow well and are resistant to environmental stresses such as drought and insects, where the plants have one or more mutations that reduce or eliminate the interaction of MYC transcription factors with the JAZ proteins. The plants can have an additional mutation that reduces or eliminates the function of the PHYB gene, and/or a heterologous PIF4 transgene or PIF4 expression cassette to improve the growth of the myc mutant plants. Methods of making and using such plants, plant cells, and seeds are also described.

Provided is a novel anti-armyworm use of cry1Ab/cry1AcZM gene. Said gene can be used for controlling or killing Mythimna separate (Walker) and reducing injury to plants by Mythimna separate.

The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH243452.

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH317504. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH317504, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH317504 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH317504.

The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 01057079. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 01057079. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 01057079 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 01057079 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.

Pesticidal proteins exhibiting toxic activity against Lepidopteran pest species are disclosed, and include, but are not limited to, TIC13085 and TIC13087. DNA constructs are provided which contain a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding one or more of the disclosed pesticidal proteins. Transgenic plants, plant cells, seed, and plant parts resistant to Lepidopteran infestation are provided which contain recombinant nucleic acid sequences encoding the pesticidal proteins of the present invention. Methods for detecting the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequences or the proteins of the present invention in a biological sample, and methods of controlling Lepidopteran species pests using any of the TIC13085 and TIC13087 pesticidal proteins are also provided.

A novel maize variety designated PH2RFZ and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant comprise crossing maize variety PH2RFZ with another maize plant are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH2RFZ through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are provided. Hybrid maize seed, plants or plant parts are produced by crossing the variety PH2RFZ or a locus conversion of PH2RFZ with another maize variety.

A novel maize variety designated X05H211 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X05H211 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X05H211 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. This invention relates to the maize variety X05H211, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X05H211. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X05H211.
