The present disclosure provides methods for obtaining the targeted integration of a DNA molecule into the genome of a host cell using a recombinase. The methods disclosed herein can be used with a variety of host cells, including, for example, dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plant cells. The present disclosure provides a method for effecting site-specific recombination of DNA within a plant cell, comprising: introducing into the plant cell a target nucleotide sequence comprising a first Int recognition site; introducing into the plant cell a donor nucleotide sequence comprising a second Int recognition site; and introducing into the plant cell an integrase or integrase complex.

Abstract:
A novel transgenic corn event designated MIR162 is disclosed. The invention relates to nucleic acids from event MIR162. The invention also relates to assays for detecting the presence of the MIR162 event based on DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome that resulted in the MIR162 event and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion sites. The invention further relates to corn plants comprising the genotype of MIR162 and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the MIR162 genotype with itself or another corn variety. Seeds of corn plants comprising the MIR162 genotype are also objects of the present invention. The invention also relates to methods of controlling insects using MIR162 corn plants.
Host cells comprise a site for targeted integration and iterative stacking of DNA through recombination. The site comprises a target sequence comprising (a) a truncated functional sequence effective for restoration of a functional sequence when operably linked through a recombination event with a sequence that completes the truncated functional sequence; (b) a first recombinase recognition site derived through site-specific recombination-mediated excision of nucleotide sequences flanked by recombinase recognition sequences; and (c) a host homology sequence located between the truncated functional sequence and the first recombinase recognition site derived through site-specific recombination-mediated excision of nucleotide sequences flanked by recombinase recognition sequences.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods for the transformation of soybean cells or tissue and regeneration of the soybean cells or tissue into transformed plants. The disclosed methods utilize an explant prepared from an immature soybean seedling which can be induced directly to form shoots that give rise to transgenic plants via organogenesis. The disclosed methods do not require germination and are rapid and efficient.
A team of researchers led by plant biologists Timothy Kelliher and Qiudeng Que of Syngenta in Durham, North Carolina, fashioned a way around this problem by exploiting an odd phenomenon known as haploid induction, which allows pollen to fertilize plants without permanently transferring male geneti
