Abstract
The present invention provides novel eukaryotic DNA sequences coding for native protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox) or modified forms of the enzyme which are herbicide tolerant. A method for controlling weeds using plants having altered protox activity which confers tolerance to herbicides is described.
