Corn Event DAS-59122-7 and Methods for Detection Thereof

Abstract

The invention provides DNA compositions that relate to transgenic insect resistant maize plants. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DAS-59122-7 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.

         5 . A method of producing an insect resistant corn plant, the method comprising breeding with an resistant corn plant, parts thereof, wherein DNA having at least one nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, forms part of the plant's genome, wherein said plant or said parts thereof comprise corn even DAS-59122-7, and selecting progeny by analyzing for at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, and 35, or complements thereof, wherein said progeny comprises said corn event DAS-59122-7.

         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . A seed of the plant of  claim 5 , wherein DNA having at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, forms part of the seed's genome, wherein said seed comprises said corn event DAS-59122-7. 
     
     
         9 . A method of producing an insect resistant corn plant, said method comprising breeding with the plant of  claim 5 , and selecting progeny by analyzing for at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, wherein said progeny comprises said corn event DAS-59122-7. 
     
     
         10 . A method of producing an insect resistant corn plant, the method comprising breeding with a descent corn plant of the insect corn plant, parts thereof, wherein DNA having at least one nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, forms part of the plant's genome, wherein said plant or said parts thereof comprise corn even DAS-59122-7, and selecting progeny by analyzing for at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, wherein said progeny comprises said corn event DAS-59122-7. 
     
     
         11 . A seed of the plant of  claim 10 , wherein DNA having at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, forms part of the seed's genome, wherein said seed comprises said corn event DAS-59122-7. 
     
     
         12 . A method of producing an insect resistant corn plant, said method comprising breeding with the plant of  claim 10 , and selecting progeny by analyzing for at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, 35, or complements thereof, wherein said progeny comprises said corn event DAS-59122-7.
