method for controlling undesirable vegetation at a plantation site, method for identifying a benzoxazinone-derived herbicide, method for identifying a nucleotide sequence, isolated nucleic acid, transgenic plant cell, transgenic plant and seed

摘要

The present invention refers to a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type or a mutated protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) which is resistant or tolerant to a benzoxazinone-derivative herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. The invention further refers to plants comprising wild-type or mutated PPO enzymes, and methods of obtaining such plants.
