Cloning a gene coding for norflurazon resistance in cyanobacteria.

Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. C, Journal of biosciences - 1 May 1990

Chamovitz D, Pecker I, Sandmann G, Böger P, Hirschberg J

Abstract excerpt

The herbicide norflurazon inhibits carotene biosynthesis in photosynthetic organisms by blocking the enzyme phytoene dehydrogenase (= phytoene desaturase). We have isolated norflurazon-resistant mutants of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus PCC7942. The herbicide-resistance gene from the mutant NFZ4 has been cloned by genetic complementation of the resistance trait in wild type cells. The experiment described here...
