Abstract
The invention relates to plant cells and dicotyledonous plants transformed with chimeric rat glutathione-S-transferase gene constructs. Transgenic tobacco plants and progeny expressed the chimeric gene constructs under the control of a plant promoter. The transgenic plants and progeny demonstrated resistance to a herbicide which is normally inhibitory to plants not expressing the chimeric construct.
