  • Amino acid:glyoxylate aminotransferase genes from plants and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20030200569
    Abstract: The present invention provides plant amino acid:glyoxylate aminotransferase genes. Also disclosed are the recombinant production of these plant amino acid:glyoxylate aminotransferase enzymes in heterologous hosts, screening chemicals for herbicidal activity using these recombinantly produced enzymes, and the use of thereby identified herbicidal chemicals to suppress the growth of undesired vegetation. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for the development of herbicide tolerance in plants, plant tissues, plant seeds, and plant cells using the amino acid:glyoxylate aminotransferase genes of the invention.

  • Herbicide target genes and methods
    Publication number: 20020197696
    Abstract: The invention relates to genes isolated from Arabidopsis that code for proteins essential for seedling growth. The invention also includes the methods of using these proteins to discover new herbicides, based on the essentiality of the genes for normal growth and development. The invention can also be used in a screening assay to identify inhibitors that are potential herbicides. The invention is also applied to the development of herbicide tolerant plants, plant tissues, plant seeds, and plant cells.
