Abstract:
In the present invention, HPPD polypeptides and plants containing them showing a full tolerance against one or more HPPD inhibitor herbicides belonging to various chemical classes are described. A set of mutant HPPD polypeptides have been designed which have either no or only a significantly reduced affinity to HPPD inhibitor herbicides and, at the same time, the rate of dissociation of the HPPD inhibitors of the mutant HPPD polypeptide is increased to such an extent that the HPPD inhibitors no longer act as slow-binding or slow, tight-binding inhibitors but, instead of this, have become fully reversible inhibitors. In particular, isolated polynucleotides encoding mutant HPPD polypeptides conferring tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides belonging to various chemical classes are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed.

Claim (Index 4):
The recombinant nucleic acid molecule of  claim 1 , wherein said encoded HPPD protein consists of an amino acid sequence further comprises\n i. a lysine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 213 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or ii. an arginine or leucine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 264 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or iii. a glycine or arginine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 268 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or iv. a glutamic acid at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 270 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or v. an arginine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 315 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or vi. a histidine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 330 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or vii. a valine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 338 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or viii. an arginine or valine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 340 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or ix. a glutamine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 344 of SEQ ID NO:1; and/or x. a lysine, valine, or methionine at the amino acid position corresponding to amino acid position 345 of SEQ ID NO:1. and wherein said HPPD protein is tolerant to one or more HPPD inhibitor herbicide(s).
