Abstract
The invention concerns a novel method for making herbicide-tolerant plants, in particular to HPPD inhibiting herbicides, the nucleic acid sequences coding for enzymes capable of being used in said method, expression cassettes containing them and transgenic plants comprising at least one of said expression cassettes.
Claims23
A composition comprising an isolated polynucleotide selected from:
- a) a polynucleotide that encodes an HPP oxidase which is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO 2, SEQ ID NO 4, and SEQ ID NO 6;
- b) a polynucleotide that encodes an HPAH which is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO 8 and SEQ ID NO 18;
- or
- c) a polynucleotide that encodes an HPAC which is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO 10, SEQ ID NO 12, SEQ ID NO 14 and SEQ ID NO 20,
- wherein said isolated polynucleotide is functionally linked to a heterologous promoter.

An expression cassette comprising
- 1) an isolated polynucleotide selected from:
- a) a polynucleotide that encodes an HPP oxidase which is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO 2, SEQ ID NO 4, and SEQ ID NO 6;
- b) a polynucleotide that encodes an HPAH which is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO 8 and SEQ ID NO 18;
