Sugar beet tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate, created through introduction of the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (pat) gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes, an aerobic soil bacteria, which confers tolerance to the herbicide Phosphinothricin (Glufosinate ammonium). Neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt II) confers tolerance to the antibiotic kanamycin.

The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

The native pat gene was modified to reduce the G/C content of the DNA sequence and to a plant preferred codon sequence. The native and modified genes share 70% sequence homology however there was no change to the amino acid sequence.
Southern blot and PCR analysis indicated that a single insert of the T-DNA was integrated into the host genome and single copies of each of the bar and nptII genes.

The sugar beet line T120-7 was genetically engineered to express tolerance to glufosinate ammonium, the active ingredient in phosphinothricin herbicides (Basta®, Rely®, Finale®, and Liberty®). Glufosinate ammonium acts by inhibiting the plant enzyme glutamine synthetase, a key enzyme that detoxifies ammonia by incorporating it into glutamine. Inhibition of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of ammonia in the plant tissues, which kills the plant within hours of application. Phosphinothricin herbicides applied at rates recommended for effective weed control are toxic to conventional sugar beet varieties. The modified T120-7 line permits growers to use phosphinothricin-containing herbicides for weed control in the cultivation of sugar beet.
Glufosinate tolerance in T120-7 sugar beet is the result of the introduction of the pat gene into the beet genome via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The pat gene was isolated from the common soil fungus, Streptomyces viridochromogenes, and encodes the enzyme phosphinothricin-N-acetyltransferase (PAT). PAT catalyses the acetylation of phosphinothricin which detoxifies it into an inactive compound.
