Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising, in the direction of transcription, functionally linked to one another, a promoter regulatory sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS and a terminator sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, characterized in that the promoter regulatory sequence is a nucleic acid sequence chosen from the promoter regulatory sequences of the CsVMV (Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus) plant virus.

Abstract: The invention concerns a novel method for making herbicide-tolerant plants, in particular to HPPD inhibiting herbicides, the nucleic acid sequences coding for enzymes capable of being used in said method, expression cassettes containing them and transgenic plants comprising at least one of said expression cassettes.

Abstract: Methods for producing plants with multiple herbicide resistance are provided, in which the plants contain at least two basic genes, the first basic gene comprising a coding sequence encoding a mutated HPPD, and the second basic gene encoding an enzyme conferring on plants tolerance to a herbicide. Methods for herbicidal treatment of plants are also provided.

Abstract: 1. Chimeric gene containing several herbicide tolerance genes, plant cell and plant which are tolerant to several herbicides. 2. The plant is tolerant to several herbicides at the same time, in particular to the inhibitors of HPPD and to those of EPSPS and/or to the dihalohydroxybenzonitriles. 3. Use for removing weeds from plants with several herbicides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for controlling the development of fungi during a phytopathogenic attack which enables the plant to express a construct for inhibiting the expression of a gene essential to the development or to the pathogenicity of the fungus. The technology used is based on the mechanism of RNA interference. The present invention provides methods for producing plants resistant to a phytopathogenic fungus, plant cells and plants resistant to a phytopathogenic fungus, and methods of identifying a gene essential to the development or to the pathogenicity of a phytopathogenic fungus.
