NOBEL GLYPHOSATE-TOLERANT 5-ENOLPYRUVYLSHIKIMATE-3-PHOSPHA SYNTHASE AND GENE ENCODING IT

摘要

The invention relates to a novel 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). It is highly tolerant to glyphosate, the competitive inhibitor of the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). The invention also relates to a gene encoding the synthase, a construct and a vector comprising said gene, and a host cell transformed with said construct or vector.
