The present invention provides saflufenacil-tolerant plants. The present invention also provides methods for controlling the growth of weeds by applying saflufenacil to which the saflufenacil-tolerant plants of the invention are tolerant. Plants of the invention express a cytochrome P450 polypeptide, the expression of which confers, to the plants, tolerance to the saflufenacil.

Herbicide-tolerant plants

The invention relates to a synthetic phytase with elevated thermostability, elevated stability to acids at p H 2, elevated stability to pepsin and with a broadened active p H range, and to an isolated nucleic acid sequence coding for a synthetic phytase and to the use of the phytase in an animal feed for reducing the phosphate content in the slurry and to animal feed additives and animal feeds comprising the synthetic phytase.

Synthetic phytase variants

The invention relates to a synthetic phytase with elevated thermostability, elevated stability to acids at pH 2, elevated stability to pepsin and with a broadened active pH range, and to an isolated nucleic acid sequence coding for a synthetic phytase and to the use of the phytase in an animal feed for reducing the phosphate content in the slurry and to animal feed additives and animal feeds comprising the synthetic phytase.
