Abstract: The present invention refers to a plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a wildtype or mutated cellulose synthase (CESA) polypeptide, the expression of said polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to CESA-inhibiting herbicides, such as azines.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase or a mutated hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (mut-HPPD) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide and/or a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type homogentisate solanesyl transferase or a mutated homogentisate solanesyl transferase (mut-HST) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide, applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. The invention further refers to plants comprising mut-HPPD, and methods of obtaining such plants.

Abstract: This invention pertains to methods for determining the presence or absence in Brassica plant material of elite event MS-B2, which is a specific transformation event of a construct comprising a male-sterility gene, at a specific location in the Brassica genome, using PCR and primers specific to the construct, and kits for use in the methods.

Abstract: This invention relates to transgenic Brassica plants, plant material and seeds, characterized by harboring a specific transformation event, particularly by the presence of a male-sterility gene, at a specific location in the Brassica genome. The invention also relates to the seed deposited a the ATCC which will grow into a male sterile, herbicide resistant plant. The invention further provides a process producing a transgenic cell of a Brassica plant and a method of identifying a transgenic plant, or cells or tissues thereof. A kit for identifying the transgenic plants comprising the elite event of the prsent invention is also described. The Brassica plants of the invention combine the male-sterility phenotype with optimal agronomic performance, genetic stability and adaptability to different genetic backgrounds.
