In the present invention, HPPD polypeptides and plants containing them showing a full tolerance against one or more HPPD inhibitor herbicides belonging to various chemical classes are described. A set of mutant HPPD polypeptides have been designed which have either no or only a significantly reduced affinity to HPPD inhibitor herbicides and, at the same time, the rate of dissociation of the HPPD inhibitors of the mutant HPPD polypeptide is increased to such an extent that the HPPD inhibitors no longer act as slow-binding or slow, tight-binding inhibitors but, instead of this, have become fully reversible inhibitors. In particular, isolated polynucleotides encoding mutant HPPD polypeptides conferring tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides belonging to various chemical classes are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed.
本发明描述了 HPPD
多肽和含有这些
多肽的植物,它们对属于不同
化学类别的一种或多种 HPPD
抑制剂除草剂具有完全耐受性。本发明设计了一组突变型 HPPD
多肽,它们对 HPPD
抑制剂除草剂没有亲和力或亲和力明显降低,同时,突变型 HPPD
多肽的 HPPD
抑制剂的解离率增加,以至于 HPPD
