Publication number: 20200385752Abstract: The subject invention relates to a novel gene referred to herein as DSM-2. This gene was identified in Streptomyces coelicolor A3. The DSM-2 protein is distantly related to PAT and BAR. The subject invention also provides plant-optimized genes encoding DSM-2 proteins. DSM-2 can be used as a transgenic trait to impart tolerance in plants and plant cells to the herbicides glufosinate and bialaphos. One preferred use of the subject genes areas selectable markers. The use of this gene as a selectable marker in a bacterial system can increase efficiency for plant transformations. Use of DSM-2 as the sole selection marker eliminates the need for an additional medicinal antibiotic marker (such as ampicillin resistance) during cloning. Various other uses are also possible according to the subject invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2020Publication date: December 10, 2020Applicant: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Justin M Lira, Terry Wright, Andrew E. Robinson, Sean Russell, Donald J Merlo, Steven Webb, Nicole L Arnold, Kelley E Smith
