HERBICIDE RESISTANCE PLANTS

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE PLANTS

Introduction

Production of  transgenic plants resistance to certain biodegradable herbicides was the first biggest achievement from genetic engineering in plants. this way created the basic tool and technique for plant transformation, and several genes that confer herbicide resistance serve as useful selectable markers. some transgenic plants resistant to different herbicides, e.g., glyphosate, glufosinate ( bialaphos or phosphinothricin), sulfonylureas, etc., have been successfully produced and are in commercial cultivation in U.S.A. and other countries. the development of transgenic plants resistant to glyphosate is describe here.
