Soybean event MON89788 and methods for detection thereof

A method of detecting the presence of DNA corresponding to the soybean event MON89788 in a sample, the method comprising:n(a) contacting a sample comprising soybean DNA with a primer set, wherein a first DNA molecule of the primer set comprises at least 11 contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4 or a full complement thereof to function when used in a nucleic acid amplification reaction with DNA from soybean event MON89788 to produce a diagnostic amplicon for soybean event MON89788, wherein the diagnostic amplicon comprises SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, or a full complement thereof; and(b) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction, thereby producing the diagnostic amplicon; and(c) detecting the diagnostic amplicon.

A method of detecting the presence of a nucleic acid corresponding to event MON89788 in a sample, the method comprising:n(a) obtaining a sample of soybean DNA;(b) contacting the sample with a DNA probe comprising a nucleotide sequence of sufficient length of contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, or a full complement thereof, to function as a DNA probe that hybridizes under stringent hybridization conditions with a DNA molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2 and does not hybridize under stringent hybridization conditions with a DNA molecule not comprising SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2;(c) subjecting the sample and DNA probe to stringent hybridization conditions; and(d) detecting hybridization of the DNA probe to DNA in the sample, wherein detection of hybridization indicates the presence of a DNA molecule from a transgenic soybean plant comprising event MON89788.
