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.

Herbicide-tolerant plants through bypassing metabolic pathway

Methods and means are provided for the exact exchange in eukaryotic cells, such as plant cells, of a target DNA sequence for a DNA sequence of interest through homologous recombination, whereby the selectable or screenable marker used during the homologous recombination phase for temporal selection of the gene replacement events can subsequently be removed without leaving a foot-print employing a method for the removal of a selected DNA flanked by two nucleotide sequences in direct repeats.

Methods and means for exact replacement of target DNA in eukaryotic organisms

DNA sequence of a gene of hydroxy-phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase and production of plants containing a gene of hydroxy-phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase and which are resistant to herbicides. DNA sequence of a gene of hydroxy-phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase; isolation from a bacteria or a plant; utilization for obtaining plants tolerant to herbicides.

An isolated gene from Pseudomonas is described which expresses a hydoxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase. Also described are chimeric genes for introduction into plants to overexpress a hydoxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase and produce plants which are tolerant to herbicides.
