MUTATED HYDROXYPHENYLPYRUVATE DIOXYGENASE, DNA SEQUENCE AND ISOLATION OF PLANTS WHICH ARE TOLERANT TO HPPD INHIBITOR HERBICIDES

摘要

The present invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a mutated hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), to a chimeric gene which comprises this sequence as the coding sequence, and to its use for obtaining plants which are resistant to HPPD inhibitor herbicides.
