The present invention relates to mutant gibberellin 2-oxidase (GA2ox) genes and uses thereof. In particular, the effective mutations disclosed herein can reduce GA2ox enzymatic activity to different extents, leading to various degrees of GA deficient yet beneficial agronomic traits in transgenic plants.

The present invention relates to a cucumber plant (Cucumis sativus L.) that is resistant to Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans, a pathogen that causes angular leaf spot disease in cucumber. The invention further relates to markers linked to the resistance and the use of markers to identify resistant plants. The invention also relates to seed and progeny of such plants and to propagation material derived from such plants and for obtaining such plants. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for producing, identifying and selecting Pseudomonas resistant cucumber plants, and for producing hybrid plant seed. The invention further relates to the use of a gene and/or QTLs and sequences thereof to identify/select Pseudomonas resistant cucumber plants.

The invention provides for an expression cassette comprising a gibberellic acid 2-oxidase gene, and turfgrass plants comprising said cassette.

The invention provides glyphosate tolerant transgenic turfgrass plants, plant material, and seeds that have a specific transformation event. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the event. The invention also provides sequences for a variant EPSPS gene and a GAO2X gene, cassettes, and plants comprising the variant EPSPS gene and a GAO2X gene.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for altering gibberellin (GA) content in corn plants. Methods and compositions are provided for ectopically or transgenically expressing a GA2 oxidase in corn plants. Modified plants, plant parts and plant cells having a recombinant DNA construct for expression of a GA2 oxidase transgene are further provided that may comprise reduced gibberellin levels and improved characteristics, such as reduced plant height and increased lodging resistance, but without off-types.
