Tools are provided which allow rapid and unequivocal identification elite event A2704-12 in biological samples.

Disclosed herein are modified plant zinc finger proteins; compositions comprising modified plant zinc finger proteins and methods of making and using modified plant zinc finger proteins. The modified plant zinc finger proteins, in contrast to naturally-occurring plant zinc finger proteins, have a binding specificity that is determined by tandem arrays of modular zinc finger binding units.

Full-length cDNAs of plants and their uses are provided. Source plants are preferably monocot plants, more preferably poaceous plants, and most preferably rice. Vectors carrying said cDNAs and transformants containing said cDNAs or said vectors, transgenic plants containing said transformants, polypeptides encoded by said cDNAs are also provided. The full-length cDNA clones play important roles in the annotation of correct gene coding region, determination of exons and introns, comprehensive expression analysis on the transcription level and proteome analysis. Furthermore, full-length cDNA clones are industrially useful in producing plants having different properties from those of the wild type due to the inhibition of expression and functional suppression in plant bodies.

The current invention provides the promoter of the Zea mays nuclear gene encoding chloroplast-localized fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F16BP) aldolase. Compositions comprising this sequence are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the chloroplastic F16BP aldolase promoter by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for detecting the presence of the corn event MON863 DNA inserted into the corn genome from the transformation of the recombinant construct containing a Cry3Bb gene and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. The present invention also provides the corn event MON863 plants, progeny and seeds thereof that contain the corn event MON863 DNA.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for the identification of transgenic seeds. This is accomplished by use of screenable markers linked to aleurone-specific promoters. The screenable markers can be provided as gene fusions with selectable markers, allowing both selection and screening of transformants. The use of aleurone-specific promoters, which also direct expression in embryogenic tissues, allows efficient selection of transgenic cells and the screening of viable transgenic seeds, while avoiding the deleterious effects associated with constitutive expression of screenable marker genes. Screening of transgenic seeds avoids the need for growing and assaying of seeds for transgenes and allows implementation of automated seed screening techniques for the identification of transgenic seeds.
