The dna sequence of a gene of the hydroxy - phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase, and obtaining plants containing a gene of the hydroxy - phenyl pyruvate tolerant a 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.
