The invention also provides polynucleotides specific for event MON 87708 and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products comprising polynucleotides specific for event MON 87708. The invention also provides methods related to event MON 87708.
Claims16
A recombinant soybean plant, seed, cell, or plant part thereof comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and a nucleic acid molecule encoding a dicamba mono-oxygenase (DMO).
A soybean plant or seed, wherein said soybean plant or seed comprises event MON 87708, a representative sample of seed comprising said event having been deposited under ATCC accession No. PTA-9670.
A nonliving plant material comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and a nucleic acid molecule encoding a dicamba mono-oxygenase (DMO).
A commodity product comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and a nucleic acid molecule encoding a dicamba mono-oxygenase (DMO).
A method for controlling weeds in a field comprising planting soybean plants comprising event MON 87708 in a field and applying an effective dose of dicamba herbicide to control weeds in said field without injuring said soybean plants comprising event MON 87708.
A method for controlling weeds in a field comprising applying an effective dose of dicamba herbicide to control weeds in a field and then planting soybean plants comprising event MON 87708 in said field.
A method for producing soybean seed essentially free of toxic weed species seeds, said method comprising:
- a) planting soybean plants comprising event MON 87708 in a field;
- b) applying an effective dose of a dicamba herbicide to said field to kill toxic weeds in said field without injuring said soybean plants comprising event MON 87708;
- and
- c) harvesting soybean seed from said field.
A method of producing a soybean plant that tolerates application of dicamba herbicide comprising:
- a) sexually crossing a transgenic soybean plant comprising event MON 87708 comprising a nucleotide molecule having a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 1-4, SEQ ID NO:
- 6-8, and full complements thereof, with a second soybean plant;
- b) collecting the seed produced from said cross;
- c) growing said seed to produce a plurality of progeny plants;
- d) treating said plurality of progeny plants with dicamba;
- and
- e) selecting a progeny plant that is tolerant to dicamba.
A method of producing a soybean plant that tolerates application of dicamba herbicide comprising:
- a) selfing a transgenic soybean plant comprising event MON 87708 comprising a nucleotide molecule having a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 1-4, SEQ ID NO:
- 6-8, and full complements thereof;
- b) collecting the seed produced from said selfing;
- c) growing said seed to produce a plurality of progeny plants;
- d) treating said plurality of progeny plants with dicamba;
- and
- e) selecting a progeny plant that is tolerant to dicamba.
