Abstract excerpt
Resistance to triazine herbicides in higher plants was first observed in 1970. A mutation in the photosystem II reaction center D1 protein at position Ser264 --> Gly is responsible for this resistance. So far, 37 single mutants, 16 double mutants, 5 triple mutants and 5 deletion/insertion mutants in the D1 protein have been obtained by randomly induced and site-directed mutagenesis in cyanobacteria and algae. The...
