Glyphosate Tolerance in Plant Cell Cultures

  • Chapter
The Impact of Biotechnology on Agriculture

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 8))

Abstract

In recent years the increasing interest in ecological problems has determined a demand for herbicides which do not harm the environment or human health. Glyphosate is particularly suitable in this respect; in fact the present knowledge of its behavior and degradation gives no reason to suppose that this herbicide causes damage after application to the soil or elsewhere in the environment, but being a non-selective herbicide it is indiscriminate in its action against plants. To obtain glyphosate-tolerant crop species is therefore a target of great agronomic value. Various approaches have been adopted and to date successful results have been achieved by combinations of cell biotechnology and genetic engineering.
