Patent ID: 8071847

Claim:
A transgenic plant having increased resistance to a picolinate auxin herbicide, as compared to a corresponding wild-type plant, wherein the transgenic plant comprises at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of: a. the transgenic plant produces a modified SGT1b protein comprising at least 95% amino acid sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 4, wherein the increased resistance is due to presence of the modified SGT1b protein in the plant; b. the transgenic plant lacks wild-type SGT1b protein comprising at least 95% amino acid sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 4, wherein the wild-type SGT1b protein is present in the wild-type plant; and c. the resistance is due to inhibited expression of a wild-type SGT1b gene encoding a wild-type SGT1b protein comprising at least 95% amino acid sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 4.
