  • Polynucleotide constructs having at least one transcriptional enhancer and encoding a modified rice EPSPS enzyme
    Patent number: 6867293
    Abstract: The invention is directed to polynucleotide constructs having at least one transcriptional enhancer operably liked to a rice EPSPS promoter and to a sequence encoding the rice EPSPS chloroplast transit peptide and rice EPSPS enzyme, the encoded enzyme having a modified region that confers herbicide resistance.
    Type: Grant

  • Herbicide resistant plants
    Publication number: 20030079246
    Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, an isolated polynucleotide comprising a region encoding a chloroplast transit peptide and a glyphosate resistant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate phosphate synthase (EPSPS) 3′ of the peptide, the said region being under expression control of a plant operable promoter, with the provisos that the said promoter is not heterologous with respect to the said region, and the chloroplast transit peptide is not heterologous with respect to the said synthase.
    Type: Application
