Methods and compositions to produce rice resistant to accase inhibitors

摘要

Mutant rice resistant/tolerant to ACCase inhibiting herbicides, in particular FOP herbicides, are listed in Table 1. The ACCase inhibiting herbicides used for selection include quizalofop. An exemplary mutant rice tolerant to an ACCase herbicide is disclosed, with a rice genome having G2096S or the equivalent, in the carboxyl transferase domain of the ACCase coding gene, using the Black-Grass numbering system. This mutation shows differential response to FOPs vs. DIMs herbicides, and a greater differential with comparable non-resistant rice lines. Methods to control weeds and methods to produce herbicide resistant rice including transgenic rice, are disclosed.

主权项

1. A method for controlling weeds in a rice field, the method comprising:
(a) having rice in the field wherein the rice is resistant to ACCase inhibiting herbicides due to a mutation and wherein the rice is produced from rice seeds deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-12933 or PTA-13619; and (b) applying the herbicides to the field.
