The present invention relates to herbicide detoxifying enzymes, compositions containing one or more of the enzymes, and seeds of plants treated with enzymes. The enzymes may be used in detoxification methods of auxin-based herbicides or degradation of auxin-based plant regulators, including in surface-decontamination methods of an apparatus used in agriculture or in the manufacture of pesticides, methods of decontaminating water, soil, soilless media or sludge, and methods of protecting a plant against auxin herbicide, improving tolerance to a plant to an auxin herbicide, or removing an auxin herbicide from the surface of a plant. |
