Patent ID: 11180771

Abstract:
The present invention relates to plants having resistance to the herbicide oxyfluorfen conferred by a loss of function of one or more sulfolipid biosynthesis enzymes involved in the sulfolipid biosynthesis pathway and methods of producing said plants. The present invention is further directed toward rice lines having non-transgenic resistance to the herbicide oxyfluorfen conferred by mutant allele ROXY. The invention also relates to methods for producing a rice plant containing mutant allele ROXY containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by those methods. This invention also relates to rice cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from rice plants containing mutant allele ROXY and to methods for producing other rice cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from rice plants containing mutant allele ROXY. The invention further relates to transferring mutant allele ROXY to different genetic backgrounds.
