HERBICIDE RESISTANT PLANTS

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present invention relates to plants and pans thereof that have been modified to comprise a BioA and/or BIO3-BIO1 (BioDA) enzyme which confers at least partial resistance to compounds which inhibit the biotin synthesis pathway, such as herbicides, wherein in some cases the enzymes may be overexpressed to confer resistance, or may comprise modifications which confer resistance. The invention further relates to such modified BioA or BIO3-BIO1 enzymes, having modifications which improve resistance to such compounds, as well as polynucleotides and proteins encoding such enzymes. The invention also relates to methods of growing and propagating such plants, improving plant growth and controlling unwanted vegetation using such plants and parts thereof.
