1. Chimeric gene containing several herbicide tolerance genes, plant cell and plant which are tolerant to several herbicides. 2. The plant is tolerant to several herbicides at the same time, in particular to the inhibitors of HPPD and to those of EPSPS and/or to the dihalohydroxybenzonitriles. 3. Use for removing weeds from plants with several herbicides.

Chimeric gene with several herbicide tolerance genes, plant cell and plant resistant to several herbicides

Chimera gene with several herbicide resistant genes, plant cell and plant resistant to several herbicides

The invention relates to a method for the control of weeds at a crop locus, said method comprising the application of an effective amount of:

Method of controlling weeds in transgenic crops

Chimeric gene which is usable for endowing plants with resistance to a herbicide based on 3,5-dihalo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile, comprising at least one gene coding for resistance to this herbicide, a foreign promoter and, optionally, a polyadenylation signal region, wherein the promoter originates from a gene which is naturally expressed in plant cells and is chosen from the group comprising the promoter of the 35 S RNA for cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S) and the promoter of the small subunit (SSU) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO).

Chimeric nitrilase-encoding gene for herbicidal resistance

A Chimeric gene which is usable for endowing plants with resistance to a herbicide based on 3,5-dihalo-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile, comprising at least one gene coding for resistance to this herbicide, a foreign promoter and, optionally, a polyadenylation signal region, wherein the promoter originates from a gene which is naturally expressed in plant cells and is chosen from the group comprising the promoter of the 35 S RNA for cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S) and the promoter of the small subunit (SSU) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO).
