Abstract excerpt
Paraquat is one of the most widely used nonselective herbicides and has elicited the emergence of paraquat-resistant weeds. However, the molecular mechanisms of paraquat resistance are not completely understood. Here we report the Arabidopsis gain-of-function mutant pqt15-D with significantly enhanced resistance to paraquat and the corresponding gene PQT15, which encodes the Multidrug and Toxic Extrusion (MATE)...
