EP 714237
This member of the family deals exclusively with the growth-promoting effects of herbicide treatment and not with virus resistance. The patent claims the application of glutamine synthetase inhibitors to crop plants that are resistant to such inhibitors (Claim 1). The application of such herbicides has commercial implications in that crop yield is expected to increase after application as a result of decreased competition from weeds and other non-resistant plants.
The patent specifically claims the application of herbicides to plants (including transgenic plants) that express an N-acetyl-transferase gene (Claim 2).
