| Isolation and Characterization of Herbicide Resistant Mutants in the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus R2  | | | | Abstract
| Departm ent o f G en etics, The H ebrew University o f Jerusalem. Jerusalem. A variety of mutants which are resistant to triazine — and urea — classes of herbicides have been isolated in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus R 2. A ll the mutants that have been analyzed, show som e cross-resistance to different herbicides suggesting that these herbicides share a com m on binding site in photosystem II. Three psbA genes have been identified in Synechococcus R 2. The /« M -c o p y I gene was cloned from three mutants and used in D N A -m ed iated genetic transformation. It was found that in all three mutants this gene could transfer the mutation for herbicide resistance indicating that this gene codes for the herbicide resistant protein. | | | |
