Estimating the term…
The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D, but also to a pyridyloxyacetate herbicide. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention “stacked” together with one or more other herbicide resistance genes. The subject invention enables novel combinations of herbicides to be used in new ways. Furthermore, the subject invention provides novel methods of preventing the development of, and controlling, strains of weeds that are resistant to one or more herbicides such as glyphosate. The preferred enzyme and gene for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD-13 (AryloxyAlkanoate Dioxygenase). This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait and selectable marker opportunities.

An isolated polynucleotide that encodes a protein that enzymatically degrades an aryloxyalkanoate chemical substructure of an aryloxyalkanoate herbicide, wherein said polynucleotide is operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant cell, and wherein a nucleic acid molecule that encodes said protein hybridizes under stringent conditions with the full complement of a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, and SEQ ID NO:5.
A method of controlling weeds in an area, said method comprising planting seeds in soil of the area, wherein said seeds comprise
