The present invention discloses that 2′-hydroxyisoflavone reductase (IFR) is essential for plant growth. Specifically, the inhibition of IFR gene expression in plant seedlings results in seedlings that fail to produce roots or leaves. Thus, IFR is a useful target for the identification of herbicides. Accordingly, the present invention provides compositions and methods for the identification of compounds that inhibit IFR expression or activity.
本发明公开了 2′-羟基异
黄酮还原酶(IFR)对植物生长至关重要。具体地说,抑制植物幼苗中 IFR
基因的表达会导致幼苗不能生根或生叶。因此,IFR 是确定
除草剂的有用靶标。因此,本发明提供了鉴定抑制 IFR 表达或活性的化合物的组合物和方法。
