Abstract
- A study which identified a rice gene, HIS1 (hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor sensitive 1), that confers resistance to benzobicyclon and other beta-triketone herbicides indicating its usefulness for breeding herbicide-resistant crops, is presented. Topics covered include how HIS1 detoxifies betatriketone herbicides, allele inherited by BBC-sensitive rice variants and outcome of the forced expression of HIS1 in Arabidopsis.
