Abstract
Provided is a plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a mutated cellulose synthase (CESA) polypeptide, wherein the expression of said polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to CESA-inhibiting herbicides, such as azines.
Claims5
A plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a cellulose synthase (CESA) polypeptide having, over the full-length of CESA polypeptide, at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 15, wherein the expression of said polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to CESA-inhibiting herbicides, wherein the CESA polypeptide comprises the following amino acid sequence:
- (SEQ ID NO:
- 30)
- [V/I][A/V/S]G[V/I/F]S[Y/D/T]A[V/I/L][N/S][S/N/K]
- GY[Q/D/G/E][S/A]WGPL[F/M]G[K/R][L/V][F/L]F
- wherein the amino acid at position 5, 16, 17, and/or 20 of SEQ ID NO:
- 30 is substituted by any other amino acid.
A plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a variant CESA polypeptide having, over the full-length of CESA polypeptide, at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 15, wherein the expression of said polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to CESA-inhibiting herbicides, wherein the CESA polypeptide comprises the following amino acid sequence:
- (SEQ ID NO:
- 30)
- [V/l][A/V/S]G[V/I/F]S[Y/D/T]A[V/I/L][N/S][S/N/K]
- GY[Q/D/G/E][S/A]WGPL[F/M]G[K/R][L/V][F/L]F
- wherein the amino acid at position 5, 16, 17, and/or 20 of SEQ ID NO:
- 30 is substituted by any other amino acid and wherein the amino acid at position 20 of SEQ ID NO:
- 30 is substituted by any other amino acid.
