Abstract

The present invention provides a transgenic alfalfa event KK 179-2. The invention also provides cells, plant parts, seeds, plants, commodity products related to the event, and DNA molecules that are unique to the event and were created by the insertion of transgenic DNA into the genome of a alfalfa plant. The invention further provides methods for detecting the presence of said alfalfa event nucleotide sequences in a sample, probes and primers for use in detecting nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for the presence of said alfalfa event.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . A method of producing a commodity product, said method comprising the steps of growing a seed of an alfalfa plant comprising event KK179-2, wherein representative seed comprising said event has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) with the Patent Deposit Designation PTA-11833 to produce an alfalfa plant comprising event KK179-2, and obtaining a commodity product from said alfalfa plant. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein said commodity product is alfalfa hay or forage. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein said alfalfa hay or forage has a decrease in acid detergent lignin (ADL) compared to hay or forage produced from commercial alfalfa plants. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein said alfalfa hay or forage has an increase in neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) compared to hay or forage produced from commercial alfalfa plants. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein said alfalfa hay or forage has no decrease in yield compared to hay or forage produced from commercial alfalfa plants. 
     
     
         22 . Alfalfa hay or forage produced by the method of  claim 17 . 
     
     
         23 . A method of producing alfalfa hay or forage, said method comprising the steps of growing a seed of an alfalfa plant comprising event KK179-2, wherein representative seed comprising said event has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) with the Patent Deposit Designation PTA-11833 to produce an alfalfa plant comprising event KK179-2, and obtaining alfalfa hay or forage from said alfalfa plant. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein said alfalfa hay or forage has a decrease in ADL compared to hay or forage produced from commercial alfalfa plants. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein said alfalfa hay or forage has an increase in NDFD compared to hay or forage produced from commercial alfalfa plants. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein said alfalfa hay or forage has no decrease in yield compared to hay or forage produced from commercial alfalfa plants. 
     
     
         27 . Alfalfa hay or forage produced by the method of  claim 23 .
