Abstract:
A fertile transgenic maize plant comprising a chromosomally integrated expression cassette comprising (i) a modified maize EPSPS gene encoding an EPSPS protein having isoleucine at position 102 and serine at position 106 and (ii) a promoter active in maize operably linked to said EPSPS gene, wherein the yield of said fertile transgenic maize plant is not affected by a glyphosate application rate that affects the yield of a maize plant lacking said modified maize gene, wherein said fertile transgenic maize plant comprises a transformation event selected from the group consisting of GA21, seed comprising said GA21 transformation event having been deposited as ATCC Accession Number 209033, FI117, seed comprising said FI117 transformation event having been deposited as ATCC Accession Number 209031, GG25, seed comprising said GG25 transformation event having been deposited as ATCC Accession Number 209032, and GJ11, seed comprising said GJ11 transformation event having been deposited as ATCC Accession Number 209030.
