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.

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.
