Maize transformants were produced via butafenacil selection using a flexible light regime to increase selection pressure.

Here we present an unambiguous and straightforward system for detection of GT events in Arabidopsis using an endogenous nuclear gene encoding protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), involved in chlorophyll and heme syntheses.
Inhibition of PPO by the herbicide Butafenacil results in rapid plant death.
