Abstract Glyphosate is a non-selective broad-spectrum herbicide that blocks plant growth by inhibiting 5-
Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), a key enzyme of the shikimate pathway in microorganisms and
plants. The full-length epsps cDNA sequence (paepsps, Genebank: KY860582.1) was cloned and characterized for the
first time from Phragmites australis. The full-length cDNA of paepsps was 1308 bp encoding a polypeptide of 435
amino acids. The bioinformatic analyses showed that PaEPSPS has highly homologous with EPSPS from other plants.
RT-PCR analysis of paepsps expression indicated that the gene expressed in leaves, stems, and roots, with higher
expression in leaves. The expression of the paepsps… More >
