The present invention refers to a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cul- tivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that compris- es at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type hydrox- yphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase or a mutated hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (mut- HPPD) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide and/or a nucleotide se- quence encoding a wild-type homogentisate solanesyl transferase or a mutated homo- gentisate solanesyl transferase (mut-HST) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD- inhibiting herbicide, preferably a bicycloarylcarboxamide, applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. The invention further refers to plants comprising mut-HPPD, and methods of obtaining such plants. |
