Class of glyphosate resistance genes

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a novel class of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzymes, which enzymes are identifiable both by conserved amino acid sequence motifs (primary structure) and secondary and tertiary structural elements. Also disclosed are nucleic acids useful in encoding the novel EPSPS enzymes.
