TRANSITPEPTID-DNA SEQUENZ

A new ADN transit peptide sequence comprises at least one coding sequence for the transit peptide from a plant gene encoding an enzyme located in plastids, the mature part of the N-terminal sequence of the plant gene coding for an enzyme located in plastids, and/or a sequence coding for a second tra...

Summary:A new ADN transit peptide sequence comprises at least one coding sequence for the transit peptide from a plant gene encoding an enzyme located in plastids, the mature part of the N-terminal sequence of the plant gene coding for an enzyme located in plastids, and/or a sequence coding for a second transit peptide from a plant gene coding for an enzyme located in plastids. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a chimeric gene useful in plants to confer herbicidal resistance having an EPSPS target comprising a promoter region, a transit peptide region (as above), a sequence coding for resistance to glyphosate and a polyadenylated signal region not 3' translated; (2) a process for the construction of the above chimeric gene comprising isolating at least 2 regions of the transit peptide and at least part a sequence of the mature plant plastid genes to achieve at least one sequence coding for glyphosate resistance and a polyadenylated signal region therefore altogether providing plant resistance; (3) a vector for the transformation of the plant comprising the above chimeric gene; (4) a transformed plant cell containing the above chimeric gene; (5) a transformed plant with an improved resistance to herbicides having an EPSPS target obtained using the above cell; (6) a transformed plant with an improved resistance to herbicides having an EPSPS target stems from crossing the above plants; (7) a process for obtaining hybrid cell lines having glyphosate resistance using the above plants as parent plants; and (8) a process for treating the above plants comprising applying a herbicide having an EPSPS target.
