Abstract
The present invention relates to an ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerant B. napus plant, progeny and parts thereof comprising a mutation of an acetolactate synthase I gene and a mutation of an acetolactate synthase III gene.
Claims28
A Brassica napus plant or parts thereof comprising an ALS I polypeptide comprising at a position corresponding to position 182 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 instead of the naturally encoded amino acid proline the amino acid serine, and an ALS III polypeptide comprising at a position corresponding to position 556 of SEQ ID NO:
- 4 instead of the naturally encoded amino acid tryptophan the amino acid leucine.

A method of controlling unwanted vegetation comprising applying an ALS inhibitor herbicide to a Brassica growing area wherein said Brassica plants comprise an altered ALS I Brassica polypeptide comprising at a position corresponding to position 182 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 instead of the naturally encoded amino acid proline the amino acid serine;
- and an altered ALS III Brassica, polypeptide comprising at a position corresponding to position 556 of SEQ ID NO:
- 4 instead of the naturally encoded amino acid tryptophan the amino acid leucine.

A method for controlling unwanted vegetation in B. napus plant growing areas comprising applying an ALS inhibitor herbicide alone or in combination with an herbicide that does not belong to the class of ALS inhibitor herbicides for weed control in B. napus growing areas, wherein the B. napus plants comprise an altered ALS I B. napus, polypeptide comprising at a position corresponding to position 182 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 instead of the naturally encoded amino acid proline the amino acid serine;
- and an altered ALS III B. napus, polypeptide comprising at a position corresponding to position 556 of SEQ ID NO:
- 4 instead of the naturally encoded amino acid tryptophan the amino acid leucine.
