Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a non-natural plant in which expression of a gene of interest is induced and a method for producing the same. Particularly, the present invention relates to a non-natural plant in which the expression of the gene is stably induced even in the absence of a physical or chemical stimulus inducing the expression of the gene, and a method for producing the same. When the induction of the expression of the gene enhances a trait of a plant of interest, the present invention provides a non-natural plant in which the trait is enhanced and a method for producing the same. To solve the problem, a non-natural regenerated plant in which the expression of the gene is induced can be produced by forming a callus from a portion of the plant of interest and then subjecting the callus to a treatment by which the expression of the gene is induced.

Abstract: A sorghum seed comprising in its genome at least one polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having an alanine to tyrosine substitution at position 93 of the sorghum AHAS protein large subunit. The plant has increased resistance to one or more herbicides, for example from the imidazolinone group, as compared to wild-type sorghum plants. The sorghum plant may comprise in its genome, one, two, three or more copies of a polynucleotide encoding a mutated large subunit of sorghum AHAS or a sorghum AHAS polypeptide of the invention. In this context, the sorghum plant may be tolerant to any herbicide capable of inhibiting AHAS enzyme activity. For example, the sorghum plant may be tolerant to herbicides of the imidazolinones type, such as imazethapyr, imazapir, and imazapic or to herbicides of the sulfonylurea group.
