Development of highly glyphosate-tolerant tobacco by coexpression of glyphosate acetyltransferase gat and EPSPS G2-aroA genes

Development of highly glyphosate-tolerant tobacco by coexpression of glyphosate acetyltransferase gat and EPSPS G2-aroA genes

The widely used herbicide glyphosate targets 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Glyphosate acetyltransferase (GAT) effectively detoxifies glyphosate by N-acetylation. With the aim of identifying a new strategy for development of glyphosate-tolerant crops, the plant expression vecto...
