Abstract: Compositions and methods for conferring tolerance to glyphosate in bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions include novel EPSP synthase enzymes and nucleic acid molecules encoding such enzymes, vectors comprising those nucleic acid molecules, and host cells comprising the vectors. The novel proteins comprise at least one sequence domain selected from the domains provided herein. These sequence domains can be used to identify EPSP synthases with glyphosate resistance activity.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance to plant cells and bacterial cells are provided. The methods comprise transforming the cells with nucleotide sequences encoding herbicide resistance genes. In particular, herbicide resistance is conferred by expression of proteins with homology to decarboxylase enzymes. Compositions comprise transformed plants, plant tissues, and seeds, as well as transformed bacterial cells.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions comprising a coding sequence for a polypeptide that confers resistance or tolerance to glyphosate herbicides are provided. The coding sequences can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression in plants. Compositions also comprise transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules corresponding to glyphosate resistant nucleic acid sequences are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed. In particular, the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3 or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, 2, or 4.
