Corn event 5307

Abstract

A novel transgenic corn event designated 5307, is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in the 5307 event. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of event 5307, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype of and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the event 5307 genotype with itself or another corn variety.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of making a transgenic maize plant comprising inserting a heterologous nucleic acid at a position on chromosome 5 located between a umc1475 molecular marker and a uaz190 molecular marker. 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said heterologous nucleic acid is inserted on chromosome 5 between nucleotides 75,908 and 75,946 of SEQ ID NO: 103. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said inserted heterologous nucleic acid is flanked 5′ by nucleotides 5,454 to 25,454 of SEQ ID NO: 103 and flanked 3′ by nucleotides 25,513 to 45,513 of SEQ ID NO: 103.
