plant cell, plant, plant explant, transgenic seed, method for producing a plant cell having a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having dicamba decarboxylase activity, method for controlling weeds in a field containing a crop and method for controlling weeds in a field containing a culture

摘要

Compositions and methods comprising polynucleotides and polypeptides having dicamba decarboxylase activity are provided. Further provided are nucleic acid constructs, host cells, plants, plant cells, explants, seeds and grain having the dicamba decarboxylase sequences. Various methods of employing the dicamba decarboxylase sequences are provided. Such methods include, for example, methods for decarboxylating an auxin-analog, method for producing an auxin-analog tolerant plant, plant cell, explant or seed and methods of controlling weeds in a field containing a crop employing the plants and/or seeds disclosed herein. Methods are also provided to identify additional dicamba decarboxylase variants.
