Dicamba, a broad-spectrum and highly efficient herbicide, is an excellent target herbicide for the engineering of herbicide-resistant crops. In this study, a new tetrahydrofolate (THF)-dependent dicamba methyltransferase gene, dmt50, was cloned from the dicamba-degrading strain Rhizorhabdus dicambivorans Ndbn-20. Dmt50 catalyzed the methyl transfer from dicamba to THF, generating the herbicidally inactive product 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid (3,6-DCSA) and 5-methyl-THF. A dmt50 transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana clearly showed dicamba resistance (560 g/ha, the normal field application rate). However, Dmt50 demethylation activity was inhibited by the product 5-methyl-THF. Mthfr66, encoded by the... More
