The present invention relates to the use of a herbicide tolerant protein, in which the method for controlling weeds comprises applying a herbicide containing an effective dose of tribenuron-methyl to a plant growth environment where at least one transgenic plant is present. , where the transgenic plant comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a thifensulfuron hydrolase in its genome, and compared to other plants without the nucleotide sequence encoding the hydrolase, the transgenic plant has reduced plant damage and / or an increase in plant performance. The present invention reveals for the first time that a thifensulfuron hydrolase can show a high tolerance to a tribenuron-methyl herbicide, plants that contain a nucleotide sequence encoding thifensulfuron hydrolase are strongly tolerant to the tribenuron-methyl herbicide and at least can tolerate 1 times field concentration, and therefore hydrolase has broad prospects for application in plants. |
