Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods of altering expression of a genomic locus of interest or specifically targeting a genomic locus of interest in a plant cell, which may involve contacting the genomic locus with a non-naturally occurring or engineered composition that comprises a DNA binding domain comprising one or more Transcription Activator-Like (TAL) effector monomers specifically ordered to target the genomic locus of interest to improve tolerance of the plant cell to an effective concentration of an inhibitor herbicide.
