The present invention provides the transgenic soybean event MON87754, and the cells, seeds, plant parts, and plants comprising DNA diagnostic for this transgenic soybean event. The event itself functions to increase the oil content of soybeans carrying the event in their genome relative to commodity versions of soy. The invention also provides compositions comprising nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for said soybean event in a sample, methods for detecting the presence of said soybean event nucleotide sequences in a sample, probes and primers for use in detecting nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for the presence of said soybean event in a sample, growing the seeds of such soybean event into soybean plants, and breeding to produce soybean plants comprising DNA diagnostic for the soybean event. |
