Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for identifying a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide which confers herbicide tolerance to a plant by measuring photosynthetic quantum yield wherein an increase in the electron transport rate of the samples of the transformed plant as compared to the sample of the control plant is indicative for a herbicide tolerance conferring activity of said candidate polypeptide.
