The invention provides corn event MON 87411, and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products comprising event MON 87411. The invention also provides polynucleotides specific for event MON 87411 and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products comprising polynucleotides specific for event MON 87411. The invention also provides methods related to event MON 87411.

The invention provides methods and compositions for selectively suppressing the expression of a recombinant protein in a male reproductive tissue of a transgenic plant. The invention also provides methods and compositions for inducing male sterility in a transgenic plant. Plants, plant cells, plant parts, seeds, and commodity products including such compositions are aspects of the invention.

Compositions and methods comprising polynucleotides and polypeptides having EPSP (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate) synthase (EPSPS) activity are provided. In specific embodiments, the sequence has an improved property, such as, but not limited to, improved catalytic capacity in the presence of the inhibitor, glyphosate. Further provided are nucleic acid constructs, plants, plant cells, explants, seeds and grain having the EPSPS sequences. Various methods of employing the EPSPS sequences are provided. Such methods include methods for producing a glyphosate tolerant plant, plant cell, explant or seed and methods of controlling weeds in a field containing a crop employing the plants and/or seeds disclosed herein.

Provided herein include methods and compositions for making targeted changes to a DNA sequence. In various aspects and embodiments, methods and compositions for modifying a DNA sequence in a cell (such as a plant, bacterial, yeast, fungal, algal, or mammalian cell) are provided. In some aspects and embodiments the modification of DNA involves combining gene repair oligonucleotides with approaches that enhance the availability of components of the target cell gene repair mechanisms, such as a DNA cutter.

The invention provides a plant EPSPS mutant (i.e. 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase mutant), which is derived from plant, and has glyphosate resistance after mutation. Also provided is an encoding gene, which can encode the above plant EPSPS mutant; and a vector containing the above encoding gene; and a cell containing the above vector. Further provided are uses of the above plant EPSPS mutant.

This invention relates in part to soybean event pDAB8264.44.06.1 and includes a novel expression cassettes and transgenic inserts comprising multiple traits conferring resistance to glyphosate, aryloxyalkanoate, and glufosinate herbicides. This invention also relates in part to methods of controlling resistant weeds, plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. In some embodiments, the event sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. This invention further relates in part to endpoint TaqMan PCR assays for the detection of Event pDAB8264.44.06.1 in soybeans and related plant material. Some embodiments can perform high throughput zygosity analysis of plant material and other embodiments can be used to uniquely identify the zygosity of and breed soybean lines comprising the event of the subject invention. Kits and conditions useful in conducting these assays are also provided.
