Method for increasing the yield in glyphosate-resistant legumes, which comprises treating the plants or the seed with a mixture comprising where

Method for yield improvement in glyphosate-resistent legumes

The present invention relates to methods for determining GTP Cyclohydrolase I or II activity in a sample.

Methods for determining GTP cyclohydrolase I or II activity

The present invention relates to serine hydroxymethyltransferase (E.C. 2.1.2.1) as novel target for herbicides, and to nucleic acid sequences encoding a polypeptide with the biological activity of a serine hydroxymethyltransferase, which, when not present, bring about growth retardation symptoms and chlorotic leaves, comprising the nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No:3, and functional equivalents of the abovementioned nucleic acid sequence or the nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO:7 and functional equivalents of the abovementioned nucleic acid sequence. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of the abovementioned nucleic acid sequences, of functional analogs of the SEQ ID NO:3 or SEQ ID NO:7 or of polypeptides encoded by one of the abovementioned nucleic acid sequences in a method for identifying herbicidally active compounds which inhibit serine hydroxymethyltransferases, and to the use of these compounds which have been identified by the method as herbicides.

Nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide with the biological activity of a serine hydroxymethyltransferase

The present invention relates to the identification of fungal GTP cyclohydrolase II as a target for fungicides, to a method for identifying antifungal agents based on fungal GTP cyclohydrolase II, and also to the use of compounds identified as fungicides via the abovementioned method.

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase as a target for herbicides

The invention relates to a method for the mutagenesis of eucaryotic nucleotide sequences, preferably from plants, algae and/or fungi and a method for the production of genetically modified eucaryotic cells. The subject of the invention is the genetically altered nucleotide sequences of the type disclosed, vectors containing such nucleotide sequences, as well as genetically altered eucaryotic cells, tissue and/or parts of plants, algea and/or fungi and/or regenerated whole plants and the use thereof.
