Such DNA may, for example, be employed to produce herbicidally resistant plants. 5 <；protein group>； a protein comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 108, 159, 160, 136, 137, 138, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223 or 224, a protein having an ability to convert in the presence of an elecron transport system containing an electron donor, a compound of formula (II): F O /CH3 -F Cl -0/N CF 3 O 0 /-COOH H3C 10 to a compound of formula (111): F O /H N C I N CF3 0 k 0 /-COOH H3C and comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity with an amino acid sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 08, 159, 136, 137, 138, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223 or 224 or an amino acid sequence having at 15 least 90% sequence identity with an amino acid sequence showr in any one of SEQ IDNO: 160, 215, 216, 218, 222 or 224.
