IMPROVEMENT OF HERBICIDE TOLERANCE TO HPPD INHIBITORS BY DOWN-REGULATION OF PUTATIVE 4-HYDROXYPHENYLPYRUVATE REDUCTASES IN SOYBEAN

摘要

A method for conferring tolerance to a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor herbicide in a plant, comprising reducing expression of at least one 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase (HPPR) enzyme in the plant.
