USE OF ALS INHIBITOR HERBICIDES FOR CONTROL OF UNWANTED VEGETATION IN ALS INHIBITOR HERBICIDE TOLERANT BETA VULGARIS PLANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of the ALS inhibitor herbicides for controlling unwanted vegetation in ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerant Beta vulgaris plants, more especially, present invention relates to the use of ALS inhibitor herbicides for control of unwanted vegetation in Beta vulgaris, preferably in sugar beet growing areas in which the Beta vulgaris, preferably sugar beet comprise mutations in the ALS gene where the tryptophan at position 569 in the encoded ALS enzyme is substituted by another amino acid (preferably by leucine), and a mutation in the ALS gene where the proline at position 188 in the encoded ALS enzyme is substituted by another amino acid (preferably by serine).

主权项

1. An ALS inhibitor herbicide capable of being used for controlling unwanted vegetation in one or more Beta vulgaris growing areas in which Beta vulgaris plants in said one or more areas comprise mutations in the ALS gene encoding an ALS polypeptide containing an amino acid that is different from tryptophan at position 569 and an amino acid that is different from proline at position 188.
