  • Publication number: 20160374339
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type or a mutated protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) which is resistant or tolerant to a PPO-inhibiting herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. The invention further refers to plants comprising wild-type or mutated PPO enzymes, and methods of obtaining such plants.

  • Publication number: 20160201078
    Abstract: The invention refers to plants comprising wild-type or mutated Alopecurus PPO enzymes, and methods of obtaining such plants. The present invention further refers to a method for controlling weeds at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type or a mutated Alopecurus PPO enzyme which is resistant or tolerant to a PPO-inhibiting herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide.

  • Publication number: 20160194654
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a plant or plant part comprising (i) a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a wildtype or mut-PPO polypeptide, and (ii) a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a CYP450 polypeptide, the expression of said polynucleotides (i) and (ii) confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to PPO-inhibiting herbicides.
