Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present invention relates to plants and parts thereof that have been modified to comprise a BIO3-BIO1 (BioDA) enzyme which confers at least partial resistance to compounds which inhibit the biotin synthesis pathway, such as herbicides, wherein the enzymes comprises modifications which confer resistance. The invention further relates to such modified 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.
