CHLOROPLAST TRANSIT PEPTIDES FOR EFFICIENT TARGETING OF DMO AND USES THEREOF

摘要

CHLOROPLAST TRANSIT PEPTIDES FOR EFFICIENT TARGETING OF DMO AND USES THEREOF The invention provides for identification and use of certain chloroplast transit peptides for efficient processing and localization of dicamba monooxygenase (DMO) enzyme in transgenic plants. Methods for producing dicamba tolerant plants, methods for controlling weed growth, and methods for producing food, feed, and other products are also provided, as well as seed that confers tolerance to dicamba when it is applied pre- or post-emergence.
