Abstract

A novel transgenic corn event designated 5307, is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in the 5307 event. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of event 5307, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype of and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the event 5307 genotype with itself or another corn variety.

Claims

1. A method for protecting a corn event 5307 plant against feeding damage by one or more pests, representative seed of said corn event 5307 having been deposited at the American Type Culture Collection under the accession number PTA-9561, said method comprising:

a. providing a seed of a corn plant comprising event 5307; and

b. treating the seed with an insecticide.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the insecticide comprises thiamethoxam or tefluthrin.

3. A corn event 5307 seed treated with an insecticide, representative seed of said corn event 5307 having been deposited at the American Type Culture Collection under the accession number PTA-561.

4. The corn event 5307 eed of claim 3 wherein the insecticide comprises thiamethoxam or tefluthrin.

5. A corn event 5307 plant treated with an insecticide, representative seed of said corn event 5307 having been deposited at the American Type Culture Collection under the accession number PTA-9561.

6. The corn event 5307 plant of claim 5 wherein the insecticide comprises thiamethoxam or tefluthrin.
