Abstract
1) Chimeric gone for conferring to plants an increased tolerance to a herbicide. 2) It comprises, in the direction of transcription, a promoter region, a transit peptide region, a sequence encoding glyphosate tolerance and a polyadenylation signal region, wherein the promoter region consists of at least one promoter of a plant histone gene enabling the expression of the herbicide tolerance protein in the regions of glyphosate accumulation. 3) Production of glyphosate-tolerant plants.
