Resistance to Acetolactate Synthase-Inhibiting Herbicides

摘要

Nucleotide sequences are disclosed that may be used to impart herbicide resistance to green plants. The sources of novel herbicide resistance were originally isolated in mutant Coreopsis plants. Green plants transformed with these sequences are resistant to herbicides that normally inhibit acetolactate synthase (ALS), particularly imidazolinone and sulfonylurea herbicides.
