Abstract
Tn an effort to develop transgenic plants resistant to diphenyl ether herbicides, vee introduced the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (EC 1.3.3.4) gene of Bacillus subtilis into tobacco plants, The results from a Nor thern analysis and leaf disc assay indicate that the expression of the B. subtilis protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene under the cauliflower mos aic virus 35S promoter generated resistance to the diphenyl ether herb icide, oxyfluorfen, in transgenic tobacco plants.
