DNA SEQUENCE OF A GENE OF HYDROXY-PHENYL PYRUVATE DIOXYGENASE AND PRODUCTION OF PLANTS CONTAINING A GENE OF HYDROXY-PHENYL PYRUVATE DIOXYGENASE AND WHICH ARE TOLERANT TO CERTAIN HERBICIDES

摘要

An isolated gene from Pseudomonas is described which expresses a hydoxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase. Also described are chimeric genes for introduction into plants to overexpress a hydoxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase and produce plants which are tolerant to herbicides.
