  • Patent number: 7531339
    Abstract: Novel proteins are provided herein, including proteins capable of catalyzing the acetylation of glyphosate and other structurally related proteins. Also provided are novel polynucleotides capable of encoding these proteins, compositions that include one or more of these novel proteins and/or polynucleotides, recombinant cells and transgenic plants comprising these novel compounds, diversification methods involving the novel compounds, and methods of using the compounds. Some of the novel methods and compounds provided herein can be used to render an organism, such as a plant, resistant to glyphosate.

  • Publication number: 20090011938
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for improving yield in a plant are provided. Methods of improving yield include treating plants with an effective amount of glyphosate, wherein the plant express at least two heterologous polypeptides that impart tolerance to glyphosate via distinct modes of action. In one non-limiting method, the first polypeptide has glyphosate N-acetyl transferase activity and the second polypeptide comprises a glyphosate-tolerant EPSPS polypeptide.
