  • Publication number: 20250043302
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mutated hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) polypeptide, and a coding gene and use thereof. The mutated HPPD polypeptide retains the activity of catalyzing the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid into homogentisic acid or homogentisate, and has lower sensitive to an HPPD inhibitor herbicide than that to wild type HPPD. An amino acid sequence corresponding to the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises amino acid mutation at the following sites: an F372 site is substituted by A, G or V, and an F383 site is substituted by W. The present invention discloses for the first time that the combination mutation at the 372 site and the 383 site of HPPD polypeptides from different species sources can endow plants with synergistic tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides, and the application prospect in plants is wide.

  • Patent number: 12213421
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences for detecting soybean plant DBN8002 and detection methods thereof, wherein said nucleic acid sequences comprise SEQ ID NO: 1 or a complementary sequence thereof, and/or SEQ ID NO: 2 or a complementary sequence thereof. The soybean plant DBN8002 of the present invention has good resistance against Lepidoptera insects as well as good tolerance to glufosinate herbicide without compromising the yield, and the detection methods can accurately and rapidly identify whether a biological sample contains the DNA molecule of the transgenic soybean event DBN8002.

  • Publication number: 20240200091
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a protoporphyrinogen oxidase. A method for controlling weeds comprises applying a herbicide containing an effective dose of a PPO inhibitor to a field in which at least one transgenic plant is present, wherein the transgenic plant comprises, in the genome thereof, a polynucleotide sequence encoding protoporphyrinogen oxidase, and the transgenic plant has reduced plant damage and/or has an increased plant yield compared with other plants that do not have a polynucleotide sequence encoding protoporphyrinogen oxidase. The protoporphyrinogen oxidase PPO1-PPO14 of the present invention has a high tolerance to a PPO inhibitor herbicide. In addition, the plants containing the polynucleotide sequence encoding protoporphyrinogen oxidase have a strong tolerance to the PPO-inhibitor herbicide, and show high-resistance tolerance to almost all of 4-fold field concentration of oxyfluorfen, saflufenacil and flumioxazin and 2-fold field concentration of sulfentrazone.

  • Publication number: 20230212587
    Abstract: Provided is a mutant hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) polypeptide, an encoding gene thereof and a use thereof. The mutant HPPD polypeptide retains the activity of catalyzing the conversion of hydroxyphenylpyruvate acid into homogentisic acid or homogentisate, and the sensitivity to HPPD inhibitor herbicides is lower than that of original unmutated HPPD. On position 372 corresponding to the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, the mutant HPPD polypeptide comprises the following mutations: F372A, F372G, F372V, F372P, F372S, F372T, F372C, F372M, F372Q, F372D or F372 deletion. The described mutant can provide plants with high tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides, and can be used to cultivate plants that are tolerant to HPPD inhibitor herbicides.
