摘要 |
Isolated polynucleotide molecules that encode mature, wild-type and imidazolinone-tolerant acetohydroxyacid synthase large subunit (AHASL) polypeptides, and the amino acid sequences encoding these polypeptides, are described. Expression cassettes and transformation vectors comprising the polynucleotide molecules of the invention, as well as plants and host cells transformed with the polynucleotide molecules, expression cassettes, and transformation vectors, are described. Methods of using the polynucleotide molecules to enhance the resistance of plants to herbicides, and methods for controlling weeds in the vicinity of such plants are also described. |
