chimeric gene comprising a dna sequence of a gene for hydroxyphenylpyruvatdioxygenase and achievement of plants containing a gene for hydroxyphenylpyruvatdioxygenase,and which are resistant to certain herbicides

摘要

An isolated gene from Pseudomonas is described which expresses a hydoxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase. Also described are chimeric genes for introduction into plants to overexpress a hydoxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase and produce plants which are tolerant to herbicides.
