To review the scientific principles and recombinant DNA technologies used to engineer herbicide resistance in higher plant species.
Literature review analyzing molecular genetics and biotechnological approaches for conferring herbicide tolerance in crops.
Evaluation of gene transfer systems, altered target site enzymes, and metabolic detoxification pathways in plant systems.
Identifies altered target-enzyme expression and foreign detoxifying enzymes as primary molecular pathways to achieve chemical tolerance.
Synthesizes early evidence that transgenic crop varieties can withstand broad-spectrum herbicide applications under agricultural conditions.

Review examines molecular strategies for herbicide resistance in higher plants, highlighting advances in crop protection and weed control.
