  • METHOD OF SELECTING DNA CONSTRUCTS FOR HERBICIDE TOLERANCE IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20110271399
    Abstract: An improved method for selecting among DNA constructs conferring herbicide tolerance for those which confer superior vegetative and reproductive tolerance in crop plants. Additionally, an improved method for selecting among DNA constructs conferring herbicide tolerance for those which confer superior tolerance in vegetative tissues of crop plants but little or no tolerance in male reproductive tissues of crop plants for the purpose of producing male sterile plants useful in a hybrid crop production system.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 10, 2011
    Publication date: November 3, 2011
    Inventors: R. Eric Cerny, Sophia Y. (Yuan Chia) Chen, Jeanne G. Layton, Bernard Sammons, R. Douglas Sammons
