Abstract: The present invention relates to mutant AHAS enzymes that are specifically resistant to imidazolinone herbicides. Exemplary of these is a corn sequence, which encodes an amino acid substitution at position 621 of the wild-type AHAS enzyme. Polynucleotides encoding the mutant enzyme can be used in screening methods for identifying plant cells that have been transformed.
Abstract: This disclosure describes a new antibacterial and anti-tumor agent designated LL-D05139.beta., produced in a microbiological fermentation under controlled conditions using a new genus Glycomyces harbinensis gen. nov., sp. nov., and mutants thereof.
