Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biology, and relates to a microbial-sourced 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate Synthase, EPSP synthase), its coding gene and its ability to cultivate resistant Application of glyphosate in plants. Background technique
[0002] Glyphosate was first discovered and synthesized by John E Franz of Monsanto in the early 1970s. Glyphosate has excellent characteristics such as high efficiency, low toxicity, fast degradation in the environment, and broad-spectrum killing, and the preparation process is simple. Due to the outstanding characteristics of glyphosate, it has rapidly developed into a herbicide with the largest production and sales volume and the most widely used area in agricultural production in the past few decades.
[0003] The mechanism of action of glyphosate is mainly to competitively inhibit the EPSPS that catalyzes PEP and S3P to generate EPSP in the shikimat...
