The present invention relates to Brassica oleracea plants resistant to the plant pest diamondback moth Plutella xylostella and, additionally, tolerant to the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. The present invention further relates to methods for identifying the present plants and nucleic acid sequences allowing characterizing, or identifying, the present plants. Specifically, the present invention relates to Brassica oleracea plants resistant to the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella and the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris campestris, wherein said resistance to the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella and said tolerance to the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris campestris are obtainable from a Brassica oleracea plant deposited under deposit number NCIMB 43822.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of plant molecular biology, specifically to DNA constructs for conferring insect resistance to a plant. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to insect resistant corn plant containing event DP-915635-4, and to assays for detecting the presence of event DP-915635-4 in samples and compositions thereof.

The spirosolane skeleton 23-position hydroxylase gene and the spirosolane skeleton 23-position acetyltransferase gene derived from S. chacoense, S. tuberosum, and S. lycopersicum are found to be involved with the biosynthesis of leptine, which achieves resistance against Colorado potato beetle.

The present application provides a new technology to confer or enhance insect resistance and, optionally also resistance to fungal pathogens in plants. In particular, the present invention provides a method for conferring or increasing resistance or tolerance to insect and optionally also to fungal pathogens in maize and oil seed rape (OSR) by targeting the endogenous Lox3 gene. By introducing either a gene silencing construct, a genome editing system or a genome modification, which leads to a targeted knock-down or knock-out of the Lox3 gene endogenous to the plant, a new or increased resistance to insect and, optionally fungal pathogens can be created.

Provided are a nucleic acid sequence for detecting a Glycine max plant DBN8205 and a detection method therefor. The nucleic acid sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 1 or a complementary sequence thereof, and/or SEQ ID NO: 2 or a complementary sequence thereof. The Glycine max plant DBN8205 has good resistance to insects of Lepidoptera order and good tolerance to glufosinate herbicides, and therefore the yield is not affected. By utilizing the detection method, it is possible to accurately and quickly identify whether a biological sample contains a DNA molecule of a transgenic Glycine max event DBN8205.

Provided are a transgenic corn event 2A-7, and corn plants or parts, seeds, cells, or progenies thereof containing nucleic acid molecules for diagnosing the corn event. The event shows resistance to lepidopteran insect infestation. Further provided are a method for detecting the presence of nucleic acid molecules unique to the corn event in a sample, and a probe and a primer for detecting the presence of the corn event in the sample. Further provided is a method for producing corn plants and seeds containing the nucleic acid molecules for the corn event.
