PLANTS HAVING INCREASED TOLERANCE TO HERBICIDES

摘要

Provided is a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site，the method comprising the steps of providing，at the site，a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase or a mutated hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (mut-HPPD) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide and /or a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type homogentisate solanesyl transferase or a mutated homogentisate solanesyl transferase（mut-HST）which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide, applying to the site an effective amount of the herbicide．Also provided are plants comprising mut-HPPD, and the methods of obtaining the same．
