title: The use of bacterial genes encoding herbicide tolerance in constructing transgenic plants.
abstract: The modes of action of some of the best-studied and widespread herbicides are briefly reviewed. Particular attention is given to those herbicide-inhibited processes that bacteria and plants have in common. We describe bacterial mutant genes of herbicide resistance, peculiarities of their introduction into plants, and success in the construction of transgenic resistant plants.
