Glyphosate resistant transgenic sugar beet plants

摘要

A sugar beet plant, including its descendants expressing 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (cp4/epsps) enzyme activity, is new. Independent claims are also included for: (1) seed of a plant as above; (2) a method of producing a transgenic sugar beet plant as above; and (3) a glyphosate tolerant sugar beet plant including its descendants, obtainable by Agrobacterium mediated transformation with a gene allowing expression of cp4/epsps in plants, where the plant lacks both right and left T-DNA border sequences.
