Abstract: The invention relates in general to methods for detoxifying phosphonate herbicides. The methods may comprise transacetylating the phosphonate herbicide. The phosphonate herbicides can comprise a CP bond and a CN bond and may be glyphosate.

Abstract: The invention relates in general to plants, plant cells, methods of making, and methods of using plants and plant cells transformed to express an acetyltransferase that transfers an acyl group to the terminal amine of AMPA, and to plants and plant cells exhibiting resistance to AMPA in an amount which inhibits the growth of a plant or plant cell lacking a sequence encoding the acetyltransferase.

Abstract: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FDA) is an enzyme reversibly catalyzing the reaction converting triosephosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. In the leaf, this enzyme is located in the chloroplast (starch synthesis) and the cytosol (sucrose biosynthesis). Transgenic plants were generated that express the E. coli fda gene in the chloroplast to improve plant yield by increasing leaf starch biosynthetic ability in particular and sucrose production in general. Leaves from plants expressing the fda transgene showed a significantly higher starch accumulation, as compared to control plants expressing the null vector, particularly early in the photoperiod, but had lower leaf sucrose. Transgenic plants also had a significantly higher root mass. Furthermore, transgenic potatoes expressing fda exhibited improved uniformity of solids.

Abstract: Genes encoding Class II EPSPS enzymes are disclosed. The genes are useful in producing transformed bacteria and plants which are tolerant to glyphosate herbicide. Class II EPSPS genes share little homology with known, Class I EPSPS genes, and do not hybridize to probes from Class I EPSPS's. The Class II EPSPS enzymes are characterized by being more kinetically efficient than Class I EPSPS's in the presence of glyphosate. Plants transformed with Class II EPSPS genes are also disclosed as well as a method for selectively controlling weeds in a planted transgenic crop field.
