Definitions
- This invention is in the field of molecular biology. More specifically, this invention pertains to multiple herbicide tolerances conferred by expression of a sequence that confers tolerance to glyphosate in conjunction with the expression of at least one other herbicide tolerance gene.
- weeds unwanted plants
- An ideal treatment would be one which could be applied to an entire field but which would eliminate only the unwanted plants while leaving the crop plants unharmed.
- One such treatment system would involve the use of crop plants which are tolerant to a herbicide so that when the herbicide was sprayed on a field of herbicide-tolerant crop plants, the crop plants would continue to thrive while non- herbicide-tolerant weeds were killed or severely damaged.
- such treatment systems would take advantage of varying herbicide properties so that weed control could provide the best possible combination of flexibility and economy.
- herbicides have different longevities in the field, and some herbicides persist and are effective for a relatively long time after they are applied to a field while other herbicides are quickly broken down into other and/or non-active compounds.
- An ideal treatment system would allow the use of different herbicides so that growers could tailor the choice of herbicides for a particular situation.
- Crop tolerance to specific herbicides can be conferred by engineering genes into crops which encode appropriate herbicide metabolizing enzymes and/or insensitive herbicide targets. In some cases these enzymes, and the nucleic acids that encode them, originate in a plant. In other cases, they are derived from other organisms, such as microbes. See, e.g., Padgette et al. (1996) "New weed control opportunities: Development of soybeans with a Roundup Ready ® gene” and Vasil (1996) “Phosphinothricin-resistant crops,” both in Herbicide-Resistant Crops, ed. Duke (CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida) pp. 54-84 and pp. 85- 91.
- transgenic plants have been engineered to express a variety of herbicide tolerance genes from a variety of organisms, including a gene encoding a chimeric protein of rat cytochrome P4507A1 and yeast NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (Shiota et al (1994) Plant Physiol. 106: 17).
- Other genes that confer tolerance to herbicides include acetohydroxy acid synthase ("AHAS"), mutations in the native sequence have been found to confer resistance to multiple types of herbicides on plants expressing it and has been introduced into a variety of plants ⁇ see, e.g., Hattori et al. (1995) MoI. Gen. Genet.
- Glyphosate is a broad spectrum herbicide that kills both broadleaf and grass-type plants due to inhibition of the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3- phosphate synthase (also referred to as "EPSP synthase” or "EPSPS”), an enzyme which is part of the biosynthetic pathway for the production of aromatic amino acids, hormones, and vitamins.
- EPSPS 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3- phosphate synthase
- Glyphosate-resistant transgenic plants have been produced which exhibit a commercially viable level of glyphosate resistance due to the introduction of a modified Agrobacterium CP4 EPSPS.
- This modified enzyme is targeted to the chloroplast where, even in the presence of glyphosate, it continues to synthesize EPSP from phosphoenolpyruvic acid (“PEP”) and shikimate-3-phosphate.
- PEP phosphoenolpyruvic acid
- shikimate-3-phosphate phosphoenolpyruvic acid
- CP4 glyphosate-resistant soybean transgenic plants are presently in commercial use (e.g., as sold by Monsanto under the name "Roundup Ready ® ").
- glufosinate phosphinothricin
- ALS acetolactate synthase
- Glufosinate is a broad spectrum herbicide which acts on the chloroplast glutamate synthase enzyme.
- Glufosinate-tolerant transgenic plants have been produced which carry the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The enzyme encoded by the bar gene has N-acetylation activity and modifies and detoxifies glufosinate.
- Glufosinate-tolerant plants are presently in commercial use (e.g., as sold by Bayer under the name "Liberty Link ® ").
- Sulfonylurea herbicides inhibit growth of higher plants by blocking acetolactate synthase (ALS). Plants containing particular mutations in ALS are tolerant to the ALS herbicides including sulfonylureas.
- sulfonylurea herbicides such as Synchrony (a mixture of chlorimuron-ethyl plus thifensulfuron-methyl) can be used in conjunction with ALS herbicide-tolerant plants such as the STS ® soybean (Synchrony tolerant soybean) variety which contains a trait that enhances the soybean's natural tolerance to soybean sulfonylurea herbicides.
- compositions include plants that are tolerant to glyphosate as well as at least one other herbicide or class or subclass of herbicide, as well as, methods of use thereof. Additional compositions comprise plants that comprise a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that can confer tolerance to glyphosate and a polynucleotide encoding an ALS inhibitor-tolerant polypeptide.
- compositions comprise a plant expressing a polynucleotide encoding a GAT (glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase) polypeptide and are tolerant to at least one additional herbicide.
- a plant of the invention expresses a GAT polypeptide and an HRA polypeptide.
- Figure 1 provides examples of constructs having 35S enhancer elements.
- Figure 2 provides a schematic demonstrating the effect of 35S enhancers on TX efficiency.
- Figure 3 provides a schematic demonstrating the effect of 35S enhancers on TO efficiency.
- Figure 4 provides a schematic demonstrating the effect of 35S enhancers on event copy number.
- Figure 5 provides a table showing the effect of the 35S enhancers on T2 efficiency.
- Figure 6 provides an insecticidal gene evaluation assay.
- Figure 7 provides a schematic showing the development of a GAT selection scheme.
- Figure 8 demonstrates that GAT can be used as a selectable marker.
- Figure 9 provides a schematic demonstrating GAT transformation efficiencies.
- the present invention provides methods and compositions for making and using a plant that is tolerant to more than one herbicide or class or subclass of herbicide.
- a plant is provided that is tolerant to both glyphosate and at least one other herbicide (or class or subclass of herbicide) or another chemical (or class or subclass of another chemical).
- Such plants find use, for example, in methods of growing crop plants involving treatment with multiple herbicides.
- the invention provides improved plants which tolerate treatment with a herbicide or a combination of herbicides (including a combination of herbicides which act through different modes of action; i.e., application of mixtures having 2, 3, A, or more modes of herbicide action) or a combination of at least one herbicide and at least one other chemical, including fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and the like.
- the invention provides improved methods of growing crop plants in which weeds are selectively controlled.
- the plants of the invention comprise a polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide that confers tolerance to glyphosate and a polynucleotide encoding an ALS inhibitor-tolerant polypeptide.
- glyphosate/ AL S inhibitor-tolerant plants As discussed in further detail below, such plants are referred to herein as "glyphosate/ AL S inhibitor-tolerant plants.”
- the plants of the invention display a modified tolerance to herbicides and therefore allow for the application of herbicides at rates that would significantly damage plants and further allow for the application of mixtures of herbicides at lower concentrations than normally applied but which still continue to selectively control weeds.
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention can be used in combination with herbicide blends technology and thereby make the application of chemical pesticides more convenient, economical, and effective for the producer.
- the blends technology will provide easily formulated crop protection products, of ALS herbicides for example, in a dry granule form that enables delivery of customized mixtures designed to solve specific problems in conjunction with the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant crop of the invention.
- ALS herbicides for example, in a dry granule form that enables delivery of customized mixtures designed to solve specific problems in conjunction with the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant crop of the invention.
- the utility of ALS herbicides is further enabled whereby herbicidal crop response is eliminated.
- ALS inhibitor blends that can be customized for improved weed management (since ALS inhibitor chemistries have different herbicidal attributes) including increased weed spectrum, the ability to provide specified residual activity, a second mode of action to combat or delay weed resistance (complementing glyphosate, glufosinate or the like), as well as, new offerings that can be designed either or both as pre-emergence or post-emergence.
- Blends also afford the ability to add or tank mix other agrochemicals at normal, labeled use rates such as additional herbicides with a 3 rd or 4 th mechanism of action, to fill spectrum holes or even the ability to include fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and the like thereby saving costs associated with additional applications.
- additional herbicides with a 3 rd or 4 th mechanism of action
- the methods of the invention can be customized for a particular location or region. Improved methods of transformation are also provided.
- Plants are provided which comprise a polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide that confers tolerance to glyphosate and a polynucleotide encoding an ALS inhibitor-tolerant polypeptide.
- Various sequences which confer tolerance to glyphosate can be employed in the methods and compositions of the invention.
- the mechanism of glyphosate resistance is provided by the expression of a polynucleotide having transferase activity.
- a "transferase" polypeptide has the ability to transfer the acetyl group from acetyl CoA to the N of glyphosate, transfer the propionyl group of propionyl CoA to the N of glyphosate, or to catalyze the acetylation of glyphosate analogs and/or glyphosate metabolites, e.g., aminomethylphosphonic acid.
- Methods to assay for this activity are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Publication No. 2003/0083480, U.S. Publication No. 2004/0082770, and U.S. App. No.
- the transferase polypeptide comprises a glyphosate- N-acetyltransferase "GAT" polypeptide.
- a GAT polypeptide or enzyme comprises a polypeptide which has glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase activity ("GAT" activity), i.e., the ability to catalyze the acetylation of glyphosate.
- GAT activity glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase activity
- a polypeptide having glyphosate-N- acetyltransferase activity can transfer the acetyl group from acetyl CoA to the N of glyphosate.
- some GAT polypeptides transfer the propionyl group of propionyl CoA to the N of glyphosate.
- GAT polypeptides are also capable of catalyzing the acetylation of glyphosate analogs and/or glyphosate metabolites, e.g., aminomethylphosphonic acid.
- GAT polypeptides are characterized by their structural similarity to one another, e.g., in terms of sequence similarity when the GAT polypeptides are aligned with one another.
- Exemplary GAT polypeptides and the polynucleotides encoding them are known in the art and particularly disclosed, for example, in U.S. App. No. 10/004,357, filed October 29, 2001, U.S. App. No. 10/427,692, filed April 30, 2003, and U.S. App. No.
- GAT polypeptides used in creating plants of the invention comprise the amino acid sequence set forth in: SEQ ID NO: 5, 14, 11, 8, 21, 27, 17, 24, 30, 35, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 39, 42, 45, or 54. Each of these sequences is also disclosed in U.S. App. No. 10/835,615, filed April 29, 2004.
- the corresponding GAT polynucleotides that encode these polypeptides are used; these polynucleotide sequences are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3, 12, 9, 6, 19, 15, 25, 22, 28, 33, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 34, 36, 38, 41, 44, 43, 56, 31, 37, 40, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, or 64. Each of these sequences is also disclosed in U.S. App. No. 10/835,615, filed April 29, 2004.
- the use of fragments and variants of GAT polynucleotides and other known herbicide-tolerance polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby is also encompassed by the present invention.
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention express a GAT polypeptide, i.e., a polypeptide having glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase activity wherein the acetyl group from acetyl CoA is transferred to the N of glyphosate.
- plants of the invention that have been treated with glyphosate contain the glyphosate metabolite N- acetylglyphosate ("NAG").
- NAG glyphosate metabolite N- acetylglyphosate
- the invention also provides plants that contain NAG as well as a method for producing NAG by treating plants that contain a GAT gene (i.e., that express a GAT polypeptide) with glyphosate.
- the presence of N-acetylglyphosate can serve as a diagnostic marker for the presence of an active GAT gene in a plant and can be evaluated by methods known in the art, for example, by mass spectrometry or by immunoassay.
- the level of NAG in a plant containing a GAT gene that has been treated with glyphosate is correlated with the activity of the GAT gene and the amount of glyphosate with which the plant has been treated.
- the plants of the invention can comprise multiple GAT polynucleotides (i.e., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more). It is recognized that if multiple GAT polynucleotides are employed, the GAT polynucleotides may encode GAT polypeptides having different kinetic parameters, i. e. , a GAT variant having a lower K m can be combined with one having a higher k cat . In some embodiments, the different polynucleotides may be coupled to a chloroplast transit sequence or other signal sequence thereby providing polypeptide expression in different cellular compartments, organelles or secretion of one or more of the polypeptides.
- the GAT polypeptide encoded by a GAT polynucleotide may have improved enzymatic activity in comparison to previously identified enzymes.
- Enzymatic activity can be characterized using the conventional kinetic parameters k oat , K M , and k cat /KM.
- k cat can be thought of as a measure of the rate of acetylation, particularly at high substrate concentrations;
- KM is a measure of the affinity of the GAT enzyme for its substrates (e.g., acetyl CoA, propionyl CoA and glyphosate);
- k oat /K M is a measure of catalytic efficiency that takes both substrate affinity and catalytic rate into account.
- k oat /K m is particularly important in the situation where the concentration of a substrate is at least partially rate- limiting.
- a GAT with a higher k ca t or k cat /KM is a more efficient catalyst than another GAT with lower k cat or k cat /K M .
- a GAT with a lower KM is a more efficient catalyst than another GAT with a higher K M .

- conservative variants include those sequences that, because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, encode the amino acid sequence of a herbicide-tolerance polypeptide.
- Naturally occurring allelic variants such as these can be identified with the use of well-known molecular biology techniques, as, for example, with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization techniques.

- Variant protein is intended to mean a protein derived from a native and/or original protein by deletion (so-called truncation) of one or more amino acids at the N-terminal and/or C-terminal end of the protein; deletion and/or addition of one or more amino acids at one or more internal sites in the protein; or substitution of one or more amino acids at one or more sites in the protein.

Methods for such manipulations are generally known in the art. For example, amino acid sequence variants and fragments of herbicide-tolerance polypeptides can be prepared by mutations in the encoding polynucleotide. Methods for mutagenesis and polynucleotide alterations are well known in the art. See, for example, Kunkel (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82: 488-492; Kunkel et al. (1987) Methods in Enzymol. 154: 367-382; U.S. Patent No.
- the activity can be evaluated by determining whether a transgenic plant has an increased tolerance to a herbicide, for example, as illustrated in working Example 1, or with an in vitro assay, such as the production of N- acetylglyphosphate from glyphosate by a GAT polypeptide (see, e.g., WO 02/36782).
- Variant polynucleotides and polypeptides also encompass sequences and proteins derived from a mutagenic and recombinogenic procedure such as DNA shuffling. With such a procedure, one or more different herbicide-tolerance polypeptide coding sequences can be manipulated to create a new herbicide-tolerance polypeptide possessing the desired properties. In this manner, libraries of recombinant polynucleotides are generated from a population of related sequence polynucleotides comprising sequence regions that have substantial sequence identity and can be homologously recombined in vitro or in vivo.
- sequence motifs encoding a domain of interest may be shuffled between a herbicide-tolerance polypeptide and other known genes to obtain a new gene coding for a protein with an improved property of interest, such as an increased K m in the case of an enzyme.
- Strategies for such DNA shuffling are known in the art. See, for example, Stemmer (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91: 10747-10751; Stemmer (1994) Nature 370: 389-391; Crameri et al. (1997) Nature Biotech. 15: 436-438; Moore et al. (1997) J MoI. Biol. 272: 336-347; Zhang et al. (1997) Proc. Natl.

- BLAST 2.0 can be used to perform an iterated search that detects distant relationships between molecules. See Altschul et al. (1997) supra.
- the default parameters of the respective programs e.g., BLASTN for nucleotide sequences, BLASTX for proteins
- BLAST software is publicly available on the NCBI website. Alignment may also be performed manually by inspection.
- sequence identity/similarity values provided herein refer to the value obtained using GAP Version 10 using the following parameters: % identity and % similarity for a nucleotide sequence using GAP Weight of 50 and Length Weight of 3, and the nwsgapdnaxmp scoring matrix; % identity and % similarity for an amino acid sequence using GAP Weight of 8 and Length Weight of 2, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix; or any equivalent program thereof.
- equivalent program is intended any sequence comparison program that, for any two sequences in question, generates an alignment having identical nucleotide or amino acid residue matches and an identical percent sequence identity when compared to the corresponding alignment generated by GAP Version 10.
- GAP uses the algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J MoI. Biol. 48: 443-453, to find the alignment of two complete sequences that maximizes the number of matches and minimizes the number of gaps. GAP considers all possible alignments and gap positions and creates the alignment with the largest number of matched bases and the fewest gaps. It allows for the provision of a gap creation penalty and a gap extension penalty in units of matched bases. GAP must make a profit of gap creation penalty number of matches for each gap it inserts. If a gap extension penalty greater than zero is chosen, GAP must, in addition, make a profit for each gap inserted of the length of the gap times the gap extension penalty.
- gap creation penalty values and gap extension penalty values in Version 10 of the GCG Wisconsin Genetics Software Package for protein sequences are 8 and 2, respectively.
- the default gap creation penalty is 50 while the default gap extension penalty is 3.
- the gap creation and gap extension penalties can be expressed as an integer selected from the group of integers consisting of from 0 to 200.
- the gap creation and gap extension penalties can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 or greater.
- GAP presents one member of the family of best alignments. There may be many members of this family, but no other member has a better quality. GAP displays four figures of merit for alignments: Quality, Ratio, Identity, and Similarity.
- the Quality is the metric maximized in order to align the sequences. Ratio is the quality divided by the number of bases in the shorter segment.
- Percent Identity is the percent of the symbols that actually match.
- Percent Similarity is the percent of the symbols that are similar. Symbols that are across from gaps are ignored.
- a similarity is scored when the scoring matrix value for a pair of symbols is greater than or equal to 0.50, the similarity threshold.
- the scoring matrix used in Version 10 of the GCG Wisconsin Genetics Software Package is BLOSUM62 (see Henikoff and Henikoff (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915).
- sequence identity or “identity” in the context of two polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences makes reference to the residues in the two sequences that are the same when aligned for maximum correspondence over a specified comparison window.
- percentage of sequence identity is used in reference to proteins it is recognized that residue positions which are not identical often differ by conservative amino acid substitutions, where amino acid residues are substituted for other amino acid residues with similar chemical properties ⁇ e.g., charge or hydrophobicity) and therefore do not change the functional properties of the molecule.
- sequences differ in conservative substitutions the percent sequence identity may be adjusted upwards to correct for the conservative nature of the substitution.
- Sequences that differ by such conservative substitutions are said to have "sequence similarity" or "similarity”. Means for making this adjustment are well known to those of skill in the art. Typically this involves scoring a conservative substitution as a partial rather than a full mismatch, thereby increasing the percentage sequence identity. Thus, for example, where an identical amino acid is given a score of 1 and a non-conservative substitution is given a score of zero, a conservative substitution is given a score between zero and 1. The scoring of conservative substitutions is calculated, e.g., as implemented in the program PC/GENE (Intelligenetics, Mountain View, California).
- percentage of sequence identity means the value determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, wherein the portion of the polynucleotide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison, and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
- polynucleotide is not intended to be limited to polynucleotides comprising DNA.

- a "herbicide” is a chemical that causes temporary or permanent injury to a plant.
- herbicides that can be employed in the various methods and compositions of the invention are discussed in further detail elsewhere herein.
- a herbicide may be incorporated into the plant, or it may act on the plant without being incorporated into the plant or its cells.
- An "active ingredient” is the chemical in a herbicide formulation primarily responsible for its phytotoxicity and which is identified as the active ingredient on the product label.
- Product label information is available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is updated online at the url oaspub.epa.gov/pestlabl/ppls.own; product label information is also available online at the url www.cdms.net.
- the term "acid equivalent” expresses the rate or quantity as the herbicidally active parent acid.
- 2,4-D acid is often formulated in the form of a sodium or amine salt or an ester as the active ingredient in formulated products.
- the active acid equivalent per gallon of a widely used ester formulation is 3.8 Ib a.e./gallon (about 0.454 kg a.e./L), while the active ingredient per gallon is 6.0 Ib ai/gallon (about 0.717 kg ai/L).
- an "agricultural chemical” is any chemical used in the context of agriculture.
- Herbicide-tolerant or “tolerant” or “crop tolerance” in the context of herbicide or other chemical treatment as used herein means that a plant or other organism treated with a particular herbicide or class or subclass of herbicide or other chemical or class or subclass of other chemical will show no significant damage or less damage following that treatment in comparison to an appropriate control plant.
- a plant may be naturally tolerant to a particular herbicide or chemical, or a plant may be herbicide-tolerant as a result of human intervention such as, for example, breeding or genetic engineering.
- herbicide-tolerance polypeptide is a polypeptide that confers herbicide tolerance on a plant or other organism expressing it (i.e., that makes a plant or other organism herbicide-tolerant), and an "herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide” is a polynucleotide that encodes a herbicide-tolerance polypeptide.
- a sulfonylurea tolerant polypeptide is one that confers tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides on a plant or other organism that expresses it
- an imidazolinone tolerant polypeptide is one that confers tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides on a plant or other organism that expresses it
- a glyphosate tolerant polypeptide is one that confers tolerance to glyphosate on a plant or other organism that expresses it.
- a plant is tolerant to a herbicide or other chemical if it shows damage in comparison to an appropriate control plant that is less than the damage exhibited by the control plant by at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, or 1000% or more.
- Damage resulting from herbicide or other chemical treatment is assessed by evaluating any parameter of plant growth or well-being deemed suitable by one of skill in the art.
- Damage can be assessed by visual inspection and/or by statistical analysis of suitable parameters of individual plants or of a group of plants. Thus, damage may be assessed by evaluating, for example, parameters such as plant height, plant weight, leaf color, leaf length, flowering, fertility, silking, yield, seed production, and the like. Damage may also be assessed by evaluating the time elapsed to a particular stage of development (e.g., silking, flowering, or pollen shed) or the time elapsed until a plant has recovered from treatment with a particular chemical and/or herbicide.
- a particular stage of development e.g., silking, flowering, or pollen shed
- herbicide injury scores also called tolerance scores
- Table 7 a rating of 9 indicates that a herbicide treatment had no effect on a crop, i. e. , that no crop reduction or injury was observed following the herbicide treatment.
- a rating of 9 indicates that the crop exhibited no damage from the herbicide and therefore that the crop is tolerant to the herbicide.
- herbicide tolerance is also indicated by other ratings in this scale where an appropriate control plant exhibits a lower score on the scale, or where a group of appropriate control plants exhibits a statistically lower score in response to a herbicide treatment than a group of subject plants.
- Damage caused by a herbicide or other chemical can be assessed at various times after a plant has been treated with a herbicide. Often, damage is assessed at about the time that the control plant exhibits maximum damage. Sometimes, damage is assessed after a period of time in which a control plant that was not treated with herbicide or other chemical has measurably grown and/or developed in comparison to the size or stage at which the treatment was administered. Damage can be assessed at various times, for example, at 12 hours or at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 days, or three weeks, four weeks, or longer after the test plant was treated with herbicide. Any time of assessment is suitable as long as it permits detection of a difference in response to a treatment of test and control plants.
- a herbicide does not "significantly damage" a plant when it either has no effect on a plant or when it has some effect on a plant from which the plant later recovers, or when it has an effect which is detrimental but which is offset, for example, by the impact of the particular herbicide on weeds.
- a crop plant is not “significantly damaged by" a herbicide or other treatment if it exhibits less than 50%, 40%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% decrease in at least one suitable parameter that is indicative of plant health and/or productivity in comparison to an appropriate control plant (e.g., an untreated crop plant).
- Suitable parameters that are indicative of plant health and/or productivity include, for example, plant height, plant weight, leaf length, time elapsed to a particular stage of development, flowering, yield, seed production, and the like.

- an operable linkage between a polynucleotide of interest and a regulatory sequence ⁇ e.g., a promoter is functional link that allows for expression of the polynucleotide of interest.
- Operably linked elements may be contiguous or non-contiguous.
- operably linked When used to refer to the joining of two protein coding regions, by “operably linked” is intended that the coding regions are in the same reading frame. When used to refer to the effect of an enhancer, “operably linked” indicates that the enhancer increases the expression of a particular polynucleotide or polynucleotides of interest. Where the polynucleotide or polynucleotides of interest encode a polypeptide, the encoded polypeptide is produced at a higher level.
- the cassette may additionally contain at least one additional gene to be cotransformed into the organism.
- the additional gene(s) can be provided on multiple expression cassettes.
- Such an expression cassette is provided with a plurality of restriction sites and/or recombination sites for insertion of the herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide to be under the transcriptional regulation of the regulatory regions.
- the expression cassette may additionally contain other genes, including other selectable marker genes. Where a cassette contains more than one polynucleotide, the polynucleotides in the cassette may be transcribed in the same direction or in different directions (also called "divergent" transcription).
- An expression cassette comprising a herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide will include in the 5 '-3' direction of transcription a transcriptional and translational initiation region (i.e., a promoter), a herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide (e.g., a GAT polynucleotide, a ALS inhibitor-tolerant polynucleotide, an HRA polynucleotide, or any combination thereof, etc.), and a transcriptional and translational termination region (i.e., termination region) functional in plants or the other organism of interest. Accordingly, plants having such expression cassettes are also provided.
- the regulatory regions i. e.
- promoters, transcriptional regulatory regions, and translational termination regions) and/or the herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide may be native (i.e., analogous) to the host cell or to each other.
- the regulatory regions and/or the herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide of the invention may be heterologous to the host cell or to each other.
- heterologous in reference to a sequence is a sequence that originates from a foreign species, or, if from the same species, is substantially modified from its native form in composition and/or genomic locus by deliberate human intervention.
- a promoter operably linked to a heterologous polynucleotide is from a species different from the species from which the polynucleotide was derived, or, if from the same (i.e., analogous) species, one or both are substantially modified from their original form and/or genomic locus, or the promoter is not the native promoter for the operably linked polynucleotide.
- native promoter sequences may be used. Such constructs can change expression levels and/or expression patterns of the encoded polypeptide in the plant or plant cell. Expression levels and/or expression patterns of the encoded polypeptide may also be changed as a result of an additional regulatory element that is part of the construct, such as, for example, an enhancer. Thus, the phenotype of the plant or cell can be altered even though a native promoter is used.
- the termination region may be native with the transcriptional initiation region, may be native with the operably linked herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide of interest, may be native with the plant host, or may be derived from another source (i.e., foreign or heterologous) to the promoter, the herbicide-tolerance polynucleotide of interest, the plant host, or any combination thereof.
- Convenient termination regions are available from the Ti- plasmid of A. tumefaciens, such as the octopine synthase and nopaline synthase termination regions, or can be obtained from plant genes such as the Solarium tuberosum proteinase inhibitor II gene.

- the promoters can be selected based on the desired outcome.
- the polynucleotides of interest can be combined with constitutive, tissue-preferred, or other promoters for expression in plants.
- Such constitutive promoters include, for example, the core promoter of the Rsyn7 promoter and other constitutive promoters disclosed in WO 99/43838 and U.S. Patent No. 6,072,050; the core CaMV 35S promoter (Odell et al. (1985) Nature 313: 810-812); rice actin (McElroy et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2: 163-171); the maize actin promoter; the ubiquitin promoter (see, e.g., Christensen et al. (1989) Plant MoI. Biol. 12: 619-632; Christensen et al.
- Some promoters show improved expression when they are used in conjunction with a native 5' untranslated region and/or other elements such as, for example, an intron.
- the maize ubiquitin promoter is often placed upstream of a polynucleotide of interest along with at least a portion of the 5' untranslated region of the ubiquitin gene, including the first intron of the maize ubiquitin gene.
- Chemical-regulated promoters can be used to modulate the expression of a gene in a plant through the application of an exogenous chemical regulator.
- the promoter may be a chemical-inducible promoter for which application of the chemical induces gene expression or the promoter may be a chemical-repressible promoter for which application of the chemical represses gene expression.

- Plant breeding can be used to introduce desired characteristics ⁇ e.g., a stably incorporated transgene or a genetic variant or genetic alteration of interest) into a particular plant line of interest, and can be performed in any of several different ways.
- Pedigree breeding starts with the crossing of two genotypes, such as an elite line of interest and one other elite inbred line having one or more desirable characteristics (i. e. , having stably incorporated a polynucleotide of interest, having a modulated activity and/or level of the polypeptide of interest, etc.) which complements the elite plant line of interest. If the two original parents do not provide all the desired characteristics, other sources can be included in the breeding population.
- the inbred line comprises homozygous alleles at about 95% or more of its loci.
- breeding e.g., backcrossing
- techniques known in the art can be used to facilitate and accelerate the breeding (e.g., backcrossing) process, including, for example, the use of a greenhouse or growth chamber with accelerated day/night cycles, the analysis of molecular markers to identify desirable progeny, and the like.
- backcrossing can also be used in combination with pedigree breeding to modify an elite line of interest and a hybrid that is made using the modified elite line.
- backcrossing can be used to transfer one or more specifically desirable traits from one line, the donor parent, to an inbred called the recurrent parent, which has overall good agronomic characteristics yet lacks that desirable trait or traits.
- the same procedure can be used to move the progeny toward the genotype of the recurrent parent but at the same time retain many components of the non-recurrent parent by stopping the backcrossing at an early stage and proceeding with self ⁇ ng and selection. For example, an Fl, such as a commercial hybrid, is created.
- This commercial hybrid may be backcrossed to one of its parent lines to create a BCl or BC2.
- Progeny are selfed and selected so that the newly developed inbred has many of the attributes of the recurrent parent and yet several of the desired attributes of the non-recurrent parent. This approach leverages the value and strengths of the recurrent parent for use in new hybrids and breeding.
- an embodiment of this invention is a method of making a backcross conversion of an inbred line of interest comprising the steps of crossing a plant from the inbred line of interest with a donor plant comprising at least one mutant gene or transgene conferring a desired trait ⁇ e.g., herbicide tolerance), selecting an Fl progeny plant comprising the mutant gene or transgene conferring the desired trait, and backcrossing the selected Fl progeny plant to a plant of the inbred line of interest.
- This method may further comprise the step of obtaining a molecular marker profile of the inbred line of interest and using the molecular marker profile to select for a progeny plant with the desired trait and the molecular marker profile of the inbred line of interest.
- this method may be used to produce an Fl hybrid seed by adding a final step of crossing the desired trait conversion of the inbred line of interest with a different plant to make Fl hybrid seed comprising a mutant gene or transgene conferring the desired trait.
- Recurrent selection is a method used in a plant breeding program to improve a population of plants.
- the method entails individual plants cross pollinating with each other to form progeny.
- the progeny are grown and the superior progeny selected by any number of selection methods, which include individual plant, half-sib progeny, full-sib progeny, selfed progeny and topcrossing.
- the selected progeny are cross-pollinated with each other to form progeny for another population. This population is planted and again superior plants are selected to cross pollinate with each other.
- Recurrent selection is a cyclical process and therefore can be repeated as many times as desired.
- the objective of recurrent selection is to improve the traits of a population.
- the improved population can then be used as a source of breeding material to obtain inbred lines to be used in hybrids or used as parents for a synthetic cultivar.
- a synthetic cultivar is the resultant progeny formed by the intercrossing of several selected inbreds.
- Mass selection is a useful technique when used in conjunction with molecular marker enhanced selection.
- seeds from individuals are selected based on phenotype and/or genotype. These selected seeds are then bulked and used to grow the next generation.
- Bulk selection requires growing a population of plants in a bulk plot, allowing the plants to self-pollinate, harvesting the seed in bulk and then using a sample of the seed harvested in bulk to plant the next generation. Instead of self pollination, directed pollination could be used as part of the breeding program.
- Mutation breeding is one of many methods that could be used to introduce new traits into an elite line. Mutations that occur spontaneously or are artificially induced can be useful sources of variability for a plant breeder. The goal of artificial mutagenesis is to increase the rate of mutation for a desired characteristic.

Therefore mutagenized plants that carry mutations in genes, where the mutations increase expression of the gene or increase the activity of the encoded polypeptide are provided.
- the activity and/or level of a polypeptide is reduced or eliminated by introducing into a plant a polynucleotide that inhibits the level or activity of the polypeptide.

- fields containing soybean plants of the invention can be treated with a combination of glyphosate and tribenuron-methyl (available commercially as Express®).
- a herbicide having a relatively short period of residual activity is desirable, for example, in situations where it is important to reduce selective pressure that would favor the growth of herbicide-tolerant weeds.
- other considerations may be more important, such as, for example, the need to prevent the development of and/or appearance of weeds in a field prior to planting a crop by using a herbicide with a relatively long period of residual activity.
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant soybean plants can also be treated with herbicide combinations that include at least one of nicosulfuron, metsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl, thifensulfuron-methyl, and/or rimsulfuron.

- GAT- HRA plants can also be treated with a combination of glyphosate, rimsulfuron, and dicamba, or a combination of glyphosate, rimsulfuron, and at least one other herbicide.
- the at least one other herbicide has a different mode of action than both glyphosate and rimsulfuron.
- the combination of glyphosate, rimsulfuron, and dicamba has the advantage that these herbicides have different modes of action and short residual activity, which decreases the risk of incidence and spread of herbicide-tolerant weeds.

- a herbicide may be applied to a field in any form, such as, for example, in a liquid spray or as solid powder or granules.
- the herbicide or combination of herbicides that are employed in the methods comprise a tankmix or a premix.
- a herbicide may also be formulated, for example, as a "homogenous granule blend" produced using blends technology (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,022,552, entitled "Uniform Mixtures of Pesticide Granules").
- 6,022,552 produces a nonsegregating blend (i.e., a "homogenous granule blend") of formulated crop protection chemicals in a dry granule form that enables delivery of customized mixtures designed to solve specific problems.
- a homogenous granule blend can be shipped, handled, subsampled, and applied in the same manner as traditional premix products where multiple active ingredients are formulated into the same granule.
- a "homogenous granule blend” is prepared by mixing together at least two extruded formulated granule products.
- each granule product comprises a registered formulation containing a single active ingredient which is, for example, a herbicide, a fungicide, and/or an insecticide.
- the uniformity (homogeneity) of a "homogenous granule blend” can be optimized by controlling the relative sizes and size distributions of the granules used in the blend.
- the diameter of extruded granules is controlled by the size of the holes in the extruder die, and a centrifugal sifting process may be used to obtain a population of extruded granules with a desired length distribution (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,270,025).
- a homogenous granule blend is considered to be "homogenous" when it can be subsampled into appropriately sized aliquots and the composition of each aliquot will meet the required assay specifications.
- To demonstrate homogeneity a large sample of the homogenous granule blend is prepared and is then subsampled into aliquots of greater than the minimum statistical sample size (see Example 4).
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plant i.e., a GAT-HRA plant
- herbicides e.g., chlorimuron-ethyl and combinations of other herbicides that without the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant crop would have caused unacceptable crop response to plant varieties without the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor genetics.

- ALS inhibitor chemistries have different herbicidal attributes, blends of ALS plus other chemistries will provide superior weed management strategies including varying and increased weed spectrum, the ability to provide specified residual activity (SU/ ALS inhibitor chemistry with residual activity leads to improved foliar activity which leads to a wider window between glyphosate applications, as well as, an added period of control if weather conditions prohibit timely application).
- Blends also afford the ability to add other agrochemicals at normal, labeled use rates such as additional herbicides (a 3 r /4 th mechanism of action), fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and the like thereby saving costs associated with additional applications.
- any herbicide formulation applied over the glyphosate/ ALS inhibitor-tolerant plant can be prepared as a "tank-mix" composition.
- each ingredient or a combination of ingredients can be stored separately from one another. The ingredients can then be mixed with one another prior to application. Typically, such mixing occurs shortly before application.
- each ingredient, before mixing typically is present in water or a suitable organic solvent.
- the methods of the invention further allow for the development of herbicide combinations to be used in with the glyphosate/ ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants.
- the environmental conditions in an area of cultivation are evaluated.
- Environmental conditions that can be evaluated include, but are not limited to, ground and surface water pollution concerns, intended use of the crop, crop tolerance, soil residuals, weeds present in area of cultivation, soil texture, pH of soil, amount of organic matter in soil, application equipment, and tillage practices.
- an effective amount of a combination of herbicides can be applied to the crop, crop part, seed of the crop or area of cultivation. d. Timing of Herbicide Application
- the herbicide applied to the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention serves to prevent the initiation of growth of susceptible weeds and/or serve to cause damage to weeds that are growing in the area of interest.
- the herbicide or herbicide mixture exert these effects on weeds affecting crops that are subsequently planted in the area of interest (i.e., field or area of cultivation).
- the application of the herbicide combination need not occur at the same time. So long as the field in which the crop is planted contains detectable amounts of the first herbicide and the second herbicide is applied at some time during the period in which the crop is in the area of cultivation, the crop is considered to have been treated with a mixture of herbicides according to the invention.
- methods of the invention encompass applications of herbicide which are "preemergent,” "postemergent,” “preplant incorporation” and/or which involve seed treatment prior to planting.
- methods are provided for coating seeds.

- Postemergent refers to a herbicide which is applied to an area after a plant emerges visibly from the soil.
- preemergent and postemergent are used with reference to a weed in an area of interest, and in some instances these terms are used with reference to a crop plant in an area of interest. When used with reference to a weed, these terms may apply to only a particular type of weed or species of weed that is present or believed to be present in the area of interest.
- rimsulfuron has both preemergence and postemergence activity, while other herbicides have predominately preemergence (metolachlor) or postemergence (glyphosate) activity.
- the invention provides improved methods of growing a crop and/or controlling weeds such as, for example, "pre-planting burn down," wherein an area is treated with herbicides prior to planting the crop of interest in order to better control weeds.
- the invention also provides methods of growing a crop and/or controlling weeds which are "no- till” or “low-till” (also referred to as “reduced tillage”). In such methods, the soil is not cultivated or is cultivated less frequently during the growing cycle in comparison to traditional methods; these methods can save costs that would otherwise be incurred due to additional cultivation, including labor and fuel costs.
- the methods of the invention encompass the use of simultaneous and/or sequential applications of multiple classes of herbicides.
- the methods of the invention involve treating a plant of the invention and/ or an area of interest (e.g., a field or area of cultivation) and/or weed with just one herbicide or other chemical such as, for example, a sulfonylurea herbicide.
- the time at which a herbicide is applied to an area of interest may be important in optimizing weed control.
- the time at which a herbicide is applied may be determined with reference to the size of plants and/or the stage of growth and/or development of plants in the area of interest, e.g., crop plants or weeds growing in the area.
- the stages of growth and/or development of plants are known in the art. For example, soybean plants normally progress through vegetative growth stages known as V E (emergence), Vc (cotyledon), V 1 (unifoliate), and V 2 to VN.

- Cotton plants normally progress through VE (emergence), Vc (cotyledon), Vi (first true leaf), and V 2 to V N . Then, reproductive stages beginning around Vj 4 include Ri (beginning bloom), R 2 (full bloom), R 3 (beginning boll), R 4 (cutout, boll development), R 5 (beginning maturity, first opened boll), R 6 (maturity, 50% opened boll), and R 7 (full maturity, 80-90% open bolls).
- the time at which a herbicide or other chemical is applied to an area of interest in which plants are growing may be the time at which some or all of the plants in a particular area have reached at least a particular size and/or stage of growth and/or development, or the time at which some or all of the plants in a particular area have not yet reached a particular size and/or stage of growth and/or development.

- plants of the invention may be tolerant to higher doses of herbicide, tolerant to a broader range of herbicides (i.e., tolerance to more ALS inhibitor chemistries), and/or may be tolerant to doses of herbicide applied at earlier or later times of development in comparison to an appropriate control plant.
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention show an increased resistance to morphological defects that are known to result from treatment at particular stages of development.
- a phenomenon known as "ear pinch” often results when maize plants are treated with herbicide at a stage later than V5, V6, Nl, V8, V9, VlO, VI l, V12, V13, or a later stage, whereas the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention show a decreased incidence of "ear pinch” when treated at the same stage.
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention find use in methods involving herbicide treatments at later stages of development than were previously feasible.
- plants of the invention may be treated with a particular herbicide that causes morphological defects in a control plant treated at the same stage of development, but the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention will not be significantly damaged by the same treatment.
- a crop rotation scheme may be chosen based on residual effects from treatments that will be used for each crop and their effect on the crop that will subsequently be grown in the same area.
- glyphosate has very little or no soil residual activity, while herbicides that act to inhibit ALS vary in their residual activity levels.
- Residual activities for various herbicides are known in the art, and are also known to vary with various environmental factors such as, for example, soil moisture levels, temperature, pH, and soil composition (texture and organic matter).
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor- tolerant plants of the invention find particular use in methods of growing a crop where improved tolerance to residual activity of a herbicide is beneficial.
- the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants of the invention have an improved tolerance to glyphosate as well as to ALS inhibitor chemistries (such as sulfonylurea herbicides) when applied individually, and further provide improved tolerance to combinations of herbicides such as glyphosate and/or ALS inhibitor chemistries.
- the transgenic plants of the invention provide improved tolerance to treatment with additional chemicals commonly used on crops in conjunction with herbicide treatments, such as safeners, adjuvants such as ammonium sulfonate and crop oil concentrate, and the like.
- safener refers to a substance that when added to a herbicide formulation eliminates or reduces the phytotoxic effects of the herbicide to certain crops.
- choice of safener depends, in part, on the crop plant of interest and the particular herbicide or combination of herbicides included in the synergistic herbicide composition.
- Exemplary safeners suitable for use with the presently disclosed herbicide compositions include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,808,208; 5,502,025; 6,124,240 and U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos.

Antidotally effective amounts of safeners can be easily determined by one skilled in the art through simple experimentation.
- An antidotally effective amount of a safener is present where a desired plant is treated with the safener so that the effect of a herbicide on the plant is decreased in comparison to the effect of the herbicide on a plant that was not treated with the safener; generally, an antidotally effective amount of safener prevents damage or severe damage to the plant treated with the safener.

- the combination of safening herbicides comprises a first ALS inhibitor and a second ALS inhibitor.
- the safening effect is achieved by applying an effective amount of a combination of glyphosate and at least one ALS inhibitor chemistry.
- a safening affect is achieved when the glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant crops, crop part, crop seed, weed, or area of cultivation is treated with at least one herbicide from the sulfonylurea family of chemistries in combination with at least one herbicide from the ALS family of chemistries (such as, for example, an imidazolinone).

- Plants were then evaluated at various times after treatment, such as 10 or 14 days after treatment. Tolerant plants were those which showed little or no damage following treatment with a herbicide or herbicide combination. This evaluation identified GAT-HRA plants which were tolerant to multiple sulfonylurea and glyphosate chemistries. GAT-HRA plants did not exhibit any significant differences in growth or seed set (i.e., yield) in comparison to control plants. Leaf samples were taken from GAT-HRA plants and used in quantitative PCR analysis and other analyses to determine the number and arrangement of copies of the GAT and HRA polynucleotides that had been integrated into the plant genome.

- Tl seed was harvested from 20 transgenic TO plants that showed excellent herbicide tolerance in greenhouse evaluations.
- the tolerance of plants to herbicide can vary with the environment, and herbicide treatments in a greenhouse environment can have a greater impact on treated plants than herbicide treatments in the field. Accordingly, the Tl seed was further evaluated under field conditions. Tl plants were sprayed at the V4 leaf stage with four different herbicide treatment combinations including sulfonylurea and glyphosate herbicides.
- a transgenic control line was used that was known to be tolerant of glyphosate but susceptible to other herbicides.
- the tested Tl plants also showed excellent herbicide tolerance under field conditions, confirming the stable inheritance of the herbicide tolerance. Evaluation of tolerance to range of herbicides
- GAT-HRA maize plants were then evaluated to determine whether they were also tolerant to other herbicides.
- a test of both preemergent and postemergent herbicide application was conducted. Specifically, seven corn seeds of each line to be evaluated were planted 1 cm deep in 5.5 inch square plastic containers of Tama silt loam soil. Treatments described in Tables 3 and 4 were applied before any watering. A week after emergence, seedlings were thinned so that each container had two uniform plants. Corn seedlings were watered and fertilized for rapid growth and grown with a 16-h light photoperiod.
- Postemergence studies used commercial herbicide formulations and were applied two weeks after planting. Spray mixtures of herbicides were prepared using deionized water at room temperature and were stirred for at least 15 minutes. Treatments were sprayed 1 to 2 h after preparation. All ALS herbicide treatments were applied in a spray volume of 374 L/ha with a flat fan nozzle at 51 cm with spray pressure set at 138 kPa and included a high pH, basic blend adjuvant to ensure solubilization and foliar penetration. Glyphosate and glufosinate herbicide preparations included adjuvant systems in their commercial formulations to ensure high foliar activity.
- GAT-HRA plants were also more tolerant to other agricultural chemicals than control plants.
- one protocol included treatment of GAT-HRA maize with the sulfonylurea herbicides rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl in addition to treatment with the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos (Lorsban®).
- Lorsban® organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos
- Herbicide injury scores (also called tolerance scores) were assigned on a plot basis on a 1 to 9 scale with a rating of 9 indicating that plants exhibited no injury symptoms and a rating of 1 indicating complete plant death. A rating of 5 indicates moderate leaf injury. The scale used here is further explained in Table 7 below.
- GAT-HRA maize plants were produced using various expression cassettes and assayed as described above for tolerance to multiple sulfonylurea chemistries in combination with glyphosate (see Table 10).
- Example 2 GAT-HRA Soybean Plants are Tolerant of Various Herbicides and Agricultural
- Soybean embryos were bombarded with an expression cassette containing GAT (SEQ ID NO:68) and HRA polynucleotides (SEQ ID NO:65) operably linked to a constitutive promoter, as follows.
- the promoter used for the GAT sequence is the SCPl promoter
- the promoter used for the HRA sequence is the SAMS promoter.
- the 2 promoter/gene combinations are arranged in a tandem orientation with the HRA promoter/gene downstream of the GAT promoter/gene.
- somatic embryos To induce somatic embryos, cotyledons less than 4 mm in length dissected from surface-sterilized, immature seeds of the soybean variety Jack were cultured in the light or dark at 26°C on an appropriate agar medium for six to ten weeks. Somatic embryos producing secondary embryos were then excised and placed into a suitable liquid medium. After repeated selection for clusters of somatic embryos that multiplied as early, globular-staged embryos, the suspensions were maintained as described below. Here, the herbicide-tolerance traits that should be possessed by the transformed plants were used as selectable markers.
- Soybean embryogenic suspension cultures were maintained in 35 ml liquid media on a rotary shaker, 150 rpm, at 26 0 C with fluorescent lights on a 16:8 hour day/night schedule. Cultures were subcultured every two weeks by inoculating approximately 35 mg of tissue into 35 ml of liquid medium.
- Soybean embryogenic suspension cultures were then transformed by the method of particle gun bombardment (Klein et al. (1987) Nature (London) 327: 70-73, U.S. Patent No. 4,945,050).
- Approximately 150-200 mg of a two-week-old suspension culture was placed in an empty 60x15 mm Petri dish and the residual liquid removed from the tissue with a pipette. For each transformation experiment, approximately 5-10 plates of tissue were normally bombarded. Membrane rupture pressure was set at 1100 psi (77.356 kg/cm), and the chamber was evacuated to a vacuum of 28 inches mercury. The tissue was placed approximately 8.89 cm away from the retaining screen and bombarded three times. Following bombardment, the tissue was divided in half and placed back into liquid and cultured as described above.
- Each new culture derived from a separate area of transformed tissue was treated as an independent transformation event; the individual culture as well as the initial (TO) plant(s) derived from a single area of transformed tissue as well as its descendants were generally to represent a single "event.” These suspensions were then subcultured and maintained as clusters of immature embryos or regenerated into whole plants by maturation and germination of individual somatic embryos.
- Plants were then treated with glyphosate at 8x and tribenuron-methyl at 35 g/ha as well as rimsulfuron at 35 g/ha, and similar results were obtained.
- Six soybean seeds from each variety to be assayed were planted 1 cm deep in 5.5 (13.97 cm) inch square plastic container of a synthetic growth medium.
- Very young transgenic seedlings were pretreated with glyphosate to eliminate segregants that were not tolerant to glyphosate; plants injured by this treatment were removed. When possible, containers were thinned to two uniform plants. Non-transgenic lines were thinned to two uniform plants per container. Soybean seedlings were watered and fertilized for rapid growth.
- the plants were grown with a 16-h light photoperiod, and when natural light intensity fell below 500 ⁇ E/m 2 /s it was supplemented with metal halide lights with 160 ⁇ E/m 2 /s photosynthetically active radiation. Temperature was maintained at 28 ⁇ 2 0 C during the day and 22 ⁇ 2 °C at night. Relative humidity generally ranged from 50 to 90%.
- Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Coker 312 was transformed with a GAT polynucleotide ⁇ gat 4621) together with an Hra polynucleotide (SEQ ID NO:86) both operably linked to strong, constitutive plant viral promoters.
- the promoter linked to gat4621 contains a duplicated portion of the Strawberry Vein Banding Virus transcript promoter (Wang et al. Virus Genes 20: 11-17, 2000; Genbank X97304).
- the Hm gene was driven by a duplicated portion of the Mirabilis Mosaic Caulimovirus full-length transcript promoter (US patent 6,420,547; Dey and Maiti, Transgenics 3:61-70, 1999).
- the transformation procedure used Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing an expression cassette with the genes to be transferred and cotyledon explant derived callus with some capacity to undergo embryogenesis.
- the callus was exposed to Agrobacterium for 48-72 hours.
- the callus was then exposed to selection for transformed cells on 50-200 ⁇ g/1 chlorosulfuron and/or 50-450 ⁇ M glyphosate in solid medium.
- Glyphosate can also be used in a concentration range of about 5 to about 450 ⁇ M. Selection was applied until somatic embryos formed, and selection was again applied at the embryo germination step, and optionally during rooting of plantlets. Over 450 GAT-HRA transformation events were produced using selection with both chlorsulfuron and glyphosate.
- Transformed cotton plants were rooted and then transferred to soil for further growth. Plants were then subjected to herbicide spray treatments in a greenhouse. In one treatment, glyphosate was sprayed over the top of plants at the 4-6 leaf stage of development at an application rate of 1.5 Ib acid equivalent per acre (2.58 Kg acid equivalent per hectare). Untransformed Coker 312 control plants were dead 2 weeks after glyphosate application. In contrast, approximately 50% of the GAT-HRA transgenic plants (each corresponding to a separate transformation event) showed no deleterious symptoms from the glyphosate treatment 14 days after application.
- Plants transformed with both GAT and HRA were further subjected to an "over the top" application of the sulfonylurea herbicide rimsulfuron at a rate of 16 g active ingredient/hectare. Again, approximately 35% of the transgenic plants showed no deleterious symptoms from the dual herbicide application 14 days after the rimsulfuron application and 28 days after the glyphosate application. Untransformed Coker 312 plants showed severe damage from the rimsulfuron application, even in the absence of any glyphosate application. In further experiments 32 g ai/ha rimsulfuron were applied to the cotton.
- a herbicidal composition useful for the present invention may be formulated in any suitable manner, for example, as a "homogeneous granule blend" (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,022,552, entitled “Uniform Mixtures of Pesticide Granules”).
- 6,022,552 can be prepared by shaking or otherwise mixing two or more groups of substantially cylindrical granules typically made by extrusion or pelletization, wherein one group has an active ingredient content comprising at least one herbicide, and one or more other groups have a different active ingredient content or inert content, the granules within each group having substantially uniform diameters and longitudinal lengths of from 1 to 8 times the diameter with the average length of the granules being from 1.5 to 4 times the diameter, and the average diameter of each group differing from another group by no more than 30%.
- each granule group comprises a registered formulation product containing a single active ingredient, which is for example, a herbicide, fungicide, and/or an insecticide.
- Substantially cylindrical is rod like or tubular wherein the cross-sectional shape may be circular, octagonal, rectangular, or any other conceivable shape and wherein the longitudinal surface is spiral, curved, or straight.
- the difference in average diameter is calculated by subtracting the average diameter of the granules in the group having the smaller diameter from the average diameter of the granules in the group having the larger diameter, then dividing the calculated difference by the average diameter of the granules in the group having the smaller diameter, and finally multiplying the calculated quotient by 100%.
- the uniformity of a "homogenous granule blend" can be optimized by controlling the relative sizes and size distributions of the granules used in the blend. Density differences are comparatively unimportant (see, e.g., Rhodes (1990) Principles of Powder Technology, pp. 71-76 (John Wiley & Sons)).
- the diameter of extruded granules is controlled by the size of the holes in the extruder die, and a centrifugal sifting process may be used to obtain a population of extruded granules with a desired length distribution (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,270,025).
- the average diameter of each granule group differs from another group by no more than 20%, more preferably by no more than 10%.
- the longitudinal length of each group is form 1.5 to 4 times the diameter of the granules.
- the active ingredient in each formulation has an associated tolerance for variability based on guidelines of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as shown below in Table 12.
- Table 12 FAO Nominal Concentration Guidelines for Active Ingredient in a Formulation
- the active ingredient content in a homogenous granule blend is determined based on the active ingredient content of the component granules and the ratio in which the component granules are mixed. Homogenous granule blends are manufactured assuming that the nominal values of active ingredients of the blend components are correct. Because of the real-life variability associated with assays of active ingredients as well as variability in mixing and sampling, procedures were developed to calculate ranges for the active ingredient content in a homogenous granule blend, as follows.
- Procedures were also developed to determine whether a particular homogenous granule blend falls within the desired ranges.
- Homogenous granule blends are random mixtures of granules; therefore, in order to accurately represent the composition, a certain number of granules must be evaluated.
- the sample size required to represent the blend composition for a particular chosen level of variability can be obtained by solving for n and converting this value to grams by dividing 'n' by the average number of 1-mm paste extruded granules in a 1-gram sample (e.g., 400). If the standard deviation in this calculation is based on the FAO tolerance for the amount of a component in a particular granule blend, a minimum sample size for that granule blend can be calculated. For 95% confidence, the tolerance around the "% component in the blend" is set as 2 standard deviations. It is understood that this is a theoretical statistical estimate.
- the statistical sample size must be equivalent to or smaller than the smallest amount that would be measured by a farmer or applicator, typically a hectare dose. Examples of a sample size calculation for the granule blends discussed above is shown below.
- the calculated minimum statistical sample size of about 8 grams is less than the product use rate of 38 g/ha.
- a homogenous granule blend is considered to be "homogenous" when it can be subsampled into appropriately sized aliquots and the composition of each aliquot will meet the required assay specifications.
- a large sample of the homogenous granule blend is prepared and is then subsampled into aliquots of greater than the minimum statistical sample size.
- a second sample of the blend is prepared and subjected to a simulated transportation test (ASTM D 4728-87, Standard Method for Random Vibration Testing of Shipping Containers) and then subsampled into aliquots. The aliquots are analyzed for active ingredient using liquid chromatography.
- the simulated transportation test shakes the bottle at specific frequencies for a standard amount of time, giving the granules an opportunity to move about. When the granule blend components are not appropriately sized, segregation occurs and the aliquot compositions vary unacceptably.
- Homogenous granule blends have been manufactured in a batch process using a roll- type mixer. Once mixed, the granule blend is dispensed into appropriate containers (bottles, bags, etc.) for commercial sale. Testing of the manufactured homogenous granule blend DPX-CDQ73 WG showed that all data for the different batches of blend were within the respective proposed assay ranges for active ingredient.

- the transformation experiments were conducted side-by-side using the same embryos from the same ears. Immature embryos of GS3 line were aseptically removed from each ear and divided into five portions. Each portion of the embryos was then infected with A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 containing the expression cassettes from each of the five constructs, respectively. After 6 days co-cultivation, the embryos were transferred to fresh selection medium containing glyphosate. The transformed cells, which survived the glyphosate selection, proliferated and produced somatic embryogenic calli. After about two months subculture, the calli were then manipulated to regenerate whole transgenic plants with glyphosate presence and were transferred to the greenhouse.
- TO plants were then subjected to glyphosate spray at 6X (156 oz/ac) Roundup Ready UltraMa ⁇ TM a t V3 or V4 stage in the greenhouse. Positive plants were sampled for quantitative PCR for copy number and western for expression. TO plants were then crossed with inbred lines to obtain seeds for further evaluation. Results
- Transformation efficiency was measured as the percentage of the infected embryos that produced resistant calli after selection.
- the average transformation efficiencies for PHP19288, PHP20118, PHP20120, PHP20122, and PHP20124 were 58%, 63%, 59%, 57%, and 51%, respectively.

- the efficacies of the 35S enhancer constructs (PHP20118, PHP20120, PHP20122, and PHP20124) were 96.6%, 93.5%, 89.1%, and 91.1%, respectively (Fig. 4).
- the data showed that all 35S enhancer constructs significantly increased the plant efficacy against glyphosate.
- Example 9 Using 35 S Enhancer GAT in Developing A Novel Callus-Based Gene/Construct Evaluation System. Materials and Methods
- This assay is being developed to improve the evaluation of expression of an insecticidal gene at a very early stage in the transformation process in order to identify potential problems with expression.
- the basis of this assay is the use of the glyphosate acetyl transferase (GAT) gene (SEQ ID NO:55) as a selectable marker.
- GAT glyphosate acetyl transferase
- Both GAT and the insecticidal test gene will be driven by a strong constitutive promoter and linked in the same construct.
- the promoter employed comprised the ZmUBI PRO-5UTR-UBI INTRONl with the 3X35 S enhancer as described above in Example 7. As a result it is expected that selection on high levels of glyphosate will identify high insecticidal test gene expressors.
- the callus tissue from these putative high expressors will then be used in insect bioassays to determine whether the gene product is functional.
- Those constructs showing efficacy can be advanced into transformation. If the construct does not show efficacy then follow up biochemical and molecular analyses can be conducted to identify the problem and the gene will be redesigned and retested in the system (Fig. 6).
- the assay is currently under development. Preliminary data has shown that the activity of an efficacious insect control gene can be detected at the callus stage. The correlation between the callus activity and the plant efficacy is currently being evaluated.
- Agrobacterium mediated transformation was used to introduce the G ⁇ T(SEQ ID NO: 55) expression cassette into the corn genome.
- the GAT expression cassette comprises, promoter comprising ZmUBI PRO-5UTR-UBI INTRONl with the 3X35S enhancer (as described above in Example 1) operably linked to the gat gene, and pinll terminator.
- Agrobacterium tumefaciens, strain LBA4404 was pathogenically disarmed by removing its native T-DNA. Instead, the T-DNA site on the Ti plasmid contained the GAT expression cassette.
- Immature embryos of maize were aseptically removed from the developing caryopsis and treated with A. tumefaciens strain LB A4404 containing GAT expression cassettes. After a period of embryo and Agrobacterium co-cultivation on solid culture medium without glyphosate presence, the embryos were transferred to fresh selection medium that contained antibiotics and glyphosate. The antibiotics kill any remaining Agrobacterium.
- the selection medium is stimulatory to maize somatic embryogenesis and selective for those cells that contain an integrated gat gene. Therefore, callus that survives glyphosate to proliferate and produce embryogenic tissue is presumably genetically transformed. Callus samples were taken for molecular analysis to verify the presence of the transgene by PCR.
- the embryonic tissue is then manipulated to regenerate transgenic plants in the presence of glyphosate that are then transferred to the greenhouse.
- TO plants are sprayed with glyphosate at different concentrations. Positive plants are sampled for molecular analysis for transgene copy number and crossed with inbred lines to obtain seeds from the initially transformed plants.
- a glyphosate kill curve was established by testing non-transformed embryos response on media with different levels of glyphosate.
- GS3 embryos were isolated from an immature ear and placed onto media containing glyphosate at 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mM. After about 40 days culture, the response of the embryos were observed and recorded.
- infected GS3 embryos with the GAT construct were placed onto media containing glyphosate at 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mM. After about 40 days culture, the response of the infected embryos were observed and recorded (Fig. 7).
- a side-by-side experiment was conducted to compare the transformation efficiencies of GAT, bar and mopat.
- Immature embryos of GS3 line were aseptically removed from each ear and divided into three portions. Each portion of the embryos was then infected with A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 containing the expression cassettes of GAT, bar, or mopat respectively. After co-cultivation, the embryos infected with GAT construct were selected on routine glyphosate medium and the embryos infected with bar or mopat constructs were selected on routine glufosinate medium. The subcultures were done every 2 weeks. At about 50 days selection the responses of the embryos were observed and recorded.
