Abstrakt: This article reports on the plant expression and characterization of a glyphosate-tolerant enolpyruvylshikimate phosphate synthase. It discusses that glyphosate tolerance is a dominant characteristic in modern biotech crops. A gene encoding a glyphosate-tolerant EPSP synthase was cloned and characterized. Moreover, glyphosate is an important agricultural herbicide because it inhibits the enzyme that converts phosphoenolpyruvic acid and 3-phosphoshikimic acid to 5-enolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimic acid.
