Description
H7-1 sugar beet was modified with the insertion of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, thereby conferring tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate.

Additional Information
Additional Information
Both the endogenous EPSPS and the EPSPS introduced into the sugar beet plants by means of transformation catalyse the reaction of shikimate-3-phosphate with phosphoenolpyruvate to yield 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate, an intermediate stage in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. In contrast to the endogenous EPSPS, the EPSPS inserted into the genetically modified sugar beet plants is not inhibited by glyphosate. The upstream position of the transit peptide CTP2 of the EPSPS derived from Arabidopsis thaliana causes the post-translational import of the chimeric protein into the chloroplasts.
