GENE SET-UP TO ENCODE PROTEIN WITH PROTOPORPHYROGENE OXIDASE ACTIVITIES, HOST CELL, VEGETABLE CELL, METHOD OF UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION GROWTH CONTROL, METHOD OF PLANT, VEGETABLE TISSUE OR VEGETABLE CELL SELECTION

摘要

The present invention provides novel eukaryotic DNA sequences coding for native protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox) or modified forms of the enzyme which are herbicide tolerant. Plants having altered protox activity which confers tolerance to herbicides and a method of selecting transformed plants are also provided.
