The present invention relates to malate dehydrogenase as a novel herbicide target, encoded by the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or a functional equivalent of the nucleic acid sequence, which, when not present, results in reduced growth or chlorotic leaf . For this purpose, a novel nucleic acid sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 2 and a functional equivalent of SEQ ID NO: 2 are provided. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the malate dehydrogenase and functional equivalents thereof in a method for identifying a compound having herbicidal activity or growth regulatory activity, and the compound identified by the above method as a herbicide or growth regulator. Regarding use. |
