An example of a case where the plant is engineered to inactivate the herbicide before it can act is bromoxynil, a photosynthesis inhibitor. Plants were made resistant to this herbicide by engineering into them the gene for nitrilase obtained from the bacterium, Klebsiella ozaenae. Nitrilase inactivates bromoxynil before it can act.

Phenoxy acid herbicide (triclopyr, bromoxynil, clopyralid, 2,4-D, dicamba, 2,4-DB, 2,4-DP [dichlorprop], dinoseb, MCPA, MCPB, mecoprop, picloram, 2,4,5-T, and 2,4,5-TP) determinations in bottom sediment were done by ALS Environmental Ltd (Burnaby, BC) in collaboration with AXYS. Per ALS Method L1856769, 5-g samples were mixed with methanol, acidified and extracted with toluene; derivatized extracts were analyzed by capillary column GC-MS. Samples were run in batches of 20; each batch included a method blank based on Baked Ottawa Sand, a laboratory control and duplicate, phenoxy acid herbicide surrogates, a sample split duplicate, and a phenoxy acid herbicide matrix spike.
