Abstract
Transformed plants resistant to phenmedipham, which are resistant by having been transformed with a purified and isolated carbamate hydrolase gene. The carbamate hydrolase enzyme produced thereby is responsible for the cleavage of the carbamate bond between the benzene rings of phenmedipham. The invention includes the transformed plants, progeny thereof, transformed plant cells, and method of producing the transformed plants and transformed plant cells, which are resistant to phenmedipham. The invention further includes plasmids comprising the carbamate hydrolase gene capable of inactivating phenmedipham.
