Abstract
1. Chimeric gene containing several herbicide tolerance genes, plant cell and plant which are tolerant to several herbicides. 2. The plant is tolerant to several herbicides at the same time, in particular to the inhibitors of HPPD and to those of EPSPS and/or to the dihalohydroxybenzonitriles. 3. Use for removing weeds from plants with several herbicides.
Claims18
A chimeric gene comprising at least two basic chimeric genes each comprising regulatory elements necessary for its transcription in plants and a coding sequence encoding an enzyme conferring on plants the tolerance to a herbicide, characterized in that one of the coding sequences encodes hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD).
A plant cell transformed with at least two chimeric genes each containing a coding sequence encoding an enzyme conferring on plants tolerance to a herbicide, wherein one of said coding sequences encodes hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD).
