Abstract: The invention provides for Sorghum plants and plant parts developed through tissue culture, gene editing, or other methods of mutagenesis in which the plant or plant parts have increased tolerance to one or more acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) herbicides at levels that would normally inhibit the growth of wild-type Sorghum plants. In this context, the Sorghum plant may be tolerant to any herbicide capable of inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase enzyme activity. The present invention allows for the screening of ACC herbicide tolerant hybrids with markers or application of ACC inhibiting herbicides, and for the removal of unwanted vegetation with application of ACC inhibiting herbicides from seed and grain production fields.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for transforming grass plants with Agrobacterium. The invention allows creation of transgenic grass plants without the need for callus as a target tissue for transformation, thus providing a rapid method for the production of transgenic grass plants. Transgenic grass plants produced by this method are also provided.
