Abstract:
1. A monocot plant comprising a polynucleotide encoding a glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase polypeptide, wherein said polynucleotide is operably linked to (a) a promoter that drives expression in the monocot plant; and, (b) at least one copy of the enhancer sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 72 or 85 or an enhancer sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 72 or 85, wherein said enhancer sequence modulates the level of transcription and said enhancer sequence is heterologous to said promoter; wherein said monocot plant is tolerant to glyphosate at a level effective to inhibit the growth of a control monocot plant which does not comprise said polynucleotide operably linked to said enhancer sequence.
