  • Patent number: 7169970
    Abstract: Polynucleotide constructs encoding EPSPS enzymes are disclosed. The constructs have at least one transcriptional enhancer operably linked to a soybean or Brassica promoter and to a sequence respectively encoding the soybean or Brassica EPSPS chloroplast transit peptide and soybean or Brassica EPSPS enzyme. The EPSPS enzymes comprise a modified region that confers herbicide resistance.

  • Publication number: 20030200560
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of a non-transgenic plant resistant or tolerant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, e.g., glyphosate. The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinagenic Oligonucleobase to make a desired mutation in the chromosomal or episomal sequences of a plant in the gene encoding for 5-enol pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The mutated protein, which substantially maintains the catalytic activity of the wild-type protein, allows for increased resistance or tolerance of the plant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, and allows for the substantially normal growth or development of the plant, its organs, tissues or cells as compared to the wild-type plant irrespective of the presence or absence of the herbicide.

  • Publication number: 20030079246
    Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, an isolated polynucleotide comprising a region encoding a chloroplast transit peptide and a glyphosate resistant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate phosphate synthase (EPSPS) 3′ of the peptide, the said region being under expression control of a plant operable promoter, with the provisos that the said promoter is not heterologous with respect to the said region, and the chloroplast transit peptide is not heterologous with respect to the said synthase.
