Abstract
System, including methods and compositions, for making and using transgenic plants capable of metabolizing phosphite to reduce competition from weeds. The plants may be transgenically modified to express a phosphite dehydrogenase enzyme capable of catalyzing oxidation of phosphite to phosphate and grown in the presence of sufficient phosphite to selectively promote growth of the plant relative to weeds near the plant.
