The invention relates to nucleic acids which encode plant polypeptides with the biological activity of phosphomevalonate kinases, to the polypeptides encoded by them and their use as targets for herbicides and their use for identifying novel, herbicidally active compounds, and to methods for finding modulators of these polypeptides.
