The present invention refers to method for producing a transgenic plant with increased herbicide tolerance or resistance as compared to a corresponding non-transformed wild type plant, comprising transforming a plant cell or a plant cell nucleus or a plant tissue with a nucleic acid molecule encoding an Alopecurus cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, as well as to the nucleic acid, and plants with increased herbicide tolerance or resistance comprising the nucleic acid of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention refers to methods of controlling weeds at a locus which contains a plant with increased herbicide tolerance or resistance comprising the nucleic acid of the invention.

A method to risk-stratify patients with cancer based on the comorbidities, and related differential gene expression is described here. This is of relevance when counseling and treating patients with various malignancies.

The present invention pertains to an isolated P450 enzyme comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said sequence comprises a threonine at position corresponding to position 225 and/or an aspartic acid mutation at position corresponding to position 289. The invention also concerns an isolated nucleic acid comprising a sequence encoding said enzyme, a vector comprising said nucleic acid, and a host cell containing said nucleic acid or said vector. Methods for preparing said enzyme and methods for producing steroid hormone precursors using the enzyme or the host cells featured in the invention are also provided.
