The preparations had a cytochrome P-450 content that varied from approximately 90 to 150 pmol P-450/mg protein with cytochrome P-420 varying from 0 to 3% of the P-450 content.

We introduced two novel types of pig (Sus scrofa) cytochrome P450, CYP2B22 and CYP2C49, into rice plants (Oryza sativa L. cv. 'Nipponbare') to produce herbicide-tolerant plants and to confirm the metabolic activities of the cytochrome P450 species.
CYP2B22 rice plants showed tolerance towards 12 herbicides including chlortoluron (100 microM), amiprofos-methyl (2.5 microM), pendimethalin (10 microM), metolachlor (2.5 microM), and esprocarb (20 microM).

CYP72A21, a rice cytochrome P450 gene, is induced by chloroacetamide herbicides.
Leaves of the transgenic plants turned red upon treatment with the chloroacetamide herbicides acetochlor, alachlor, and metolachlor.

This study evaluated the expression of human cytochrome P450 genes CYP1A1, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19 in rice plants (Oryza sativa cv.

We have also shown that the cytochrome P450 isoforms responsible for human metabolism of acetochlor, butachlor, and metolachlor are CYP3A4 and CYP2B6.

In contrast, metolachlor at 1,000 microg/L reduced protein production by 3.2-fold, which was associated with a 2.8-fold reduction of cytochrome P450 O-deethylation total activity and 1.4- to 1.7-fold reductions of GST total activities in the treated midges.

Ethanol treatment of etiolated maize seedlings led to a marked enhancement in metabolism of the herbicides metolachlor and prosulfuron. cDNA clones representing eight genes that encode putative cytochrome P450 enzymes were isolated from maize.
