Compositions and methods for conferring
herbicide resistance to 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 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
nucleotide sequences encoding an
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3, 6, 8, 11, 19, or 21, or a
nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 18, or 20, as well as variants and fragments thereof.
