Abstract
The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules that are unique to the maize MON 87419 event and transgenic maize plants, plant parts, seeds, cells, and agricultural products containing the MON 87419 event as well as methods of using and detecting the maize MON 87419 event. Transgenic maize plants containing the MON 87419 event exhibit tolerance to dicamba and glufosinate herbicides.

1-9. (canceled)
A transgenic maize plant, seed, cell, plant part, or commodity product comprising a DNA molecule having a DNA sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, and SEQ ID NO:10.
A transgenic maize plant, seed, cell, plant part, or commodity product comprising the maize MON 87419 event, a representative sample of seed comprising said event having been deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-120860.
A method for controlling weeds in an area comprising planting transgenic maize comprising the maize MON 87419 event in an area and applying an effective dose of dicamba or glufosinate, or dicamba and glufosinate herbicides to control the weeds in the area without injuring the transgenic maize.
A method of producing a transgenic maize plant that is tolerant to glufosinate and dicamba herbicides, the method comprising:
- a) sexually crossing a transgenic maize plant comprising the maize MON 87419 event with itself or a second maize plant;
- b) collecting the seed produced;
- c) growing the seed to produce progeny plants;
- d) treating the progeny plants with glufosinate or dicamba, or glufosinate and dicamba herbicides;
- and
- e) selecting a progeny plant that is tolerant to glufosinate and dicamba herbicides.
A method of growing a transgenic maize plant that is tolerant to glufosinate and dicamba herbicides, the method comprising:
- a) planting a maize seed comprising event MON 87419;
- b) allowing a plant to grow from said seed;
- and
- c) treating the plant with glufosinate or dicamba, or glufosinate and dicamba herbicides.
A method of producing a plant that tolerates application of glufosinate and dicamba herbicides, the method comprising:
- d) providing a DNA construct comprising the transgene insert shown in FIG. 1;
- e) introducing the DNA construct into a maize plant cell;
- and
- f) regenerating the maize plant cell to produce a maize plant such that the plant tolerates application of glufosinate and dicamba herbicides.
