Patent ID: 11970703

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a safflower plant or part thereof involving the molecular stacking of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7, wherein the plant produces and accumulates chymosin in seed under agricultural conditions. A plant seed involving the molecular stacking of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7. A consumer product produced from the seed, defined as chymosin, and additionally as ground grain, flour, flakes, oil, biodiesel, biogas, or another biomaterial. Also, the present invention include a recombinant DNA molecule involved in the molecular stacking of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7. A DNA polynucleotide primer molecule comprising at least 15 contiguous nucleotides of the DNA molecule involved in the molecular stacking of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7, or its complement which is useful in a DNA amplification method to produce a diagnostic amplicon for the event IND-1ØØØ3-4 and IND-1ØØ15-7, or each of them separately IND-1ØØØ3-4 and IND-1ØØ15-7. A vector of functional expression in plants and the microorganism that comprises it. A DNA detection kit comprising at least one DNA molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence with a sufficient length of contiguous nucleotides of the recombinant DNA molecule involved in the molecular stacking of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7. Furthermore, the present invention involves methods of producing a safflower plant that accumulates chymosin in seeds under agricultural conditions; methods of producing a chymosin-producing safflower plant; methods to detect the presence of DNA corresponding to the molecular stack of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7, or each of them separately IND-1ØØØ3-4 and IND-1ØØ15-7; methods for determining the zygosity of the safflower genome containing DNA from the molecular stack of safflower events IND-1ØØØ3-4 x IND-1ØØ15-7, or each of them separately IND-1ØØØ3-4 or IND-1ØØ15-7; and methods of producing a consumer product made from safflower.
