Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a maize plant wherein the growth and development of said plant is tolerant of inhibition by a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof, at levels which normally inhibit the growth and development of maize, wherein said tolerance is conferred by an altered acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) tolerant of inhibition by said herbicide at levels which normally inhibit the activity of an unaltered ACCase.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of imparting herbicide tolerance to maize plants comprising forming a maize callus tissue culture of plant cells; subjecting said maize callus tissue culture to a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof; selecting for plant cells from said maize callus tissue culture which comprise a gene encoding for an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) which is tolerant of inhibition by a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof, at levels which normally inhibit the activity of ACCase; and generating maize plants from said selected maize callus tissue culture of plant cells, wherein said cells comprise said gene encoding an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) which is tolerant of inhibition by a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof, at levels which normally inhibit the activity of ACCase.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of imparting herbicide tolerance to maize plants comprising forming a maize callus tissue culture of plant cells; subjecting said maize callus tissue culture to a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof; selecting for plant cells from said maize callus tissue culture which comprise a gene encoding for an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) which is tolerant of inhibition by a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof, at levels which normally inhibit the activity of ACCase; and generating maize plants from said selected maize callus tissue culture of plant cells, wherein said cells comprise said gene encoding an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) which is tolerant of inhibition by a cyclohexanedione herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof, at levels which normally inhibit the activity of ACCase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicide is sethoxydim.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicide is haloxyfop.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicide is a mixture of sethoxydim and haloxyfop.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the callus tissue culture of said cells is exposed to increasing concentrations of said herbicide prior to selecting for said plant cells comprising said gene encoding for an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) which is tolerant of inhibition by a cyclohexanone herbicide, an aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicide, or mixtures thereof, at levels which normally inhibit the activity of ACCase.
