Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plant molecular biology, and more specifically to a new nucleotide sequence that encodes a wheat acetohydroxy acid synthase large subunit enzyme (hereinafter referred to as AHASL) and can be used to establish herbicide tolerance in plants. Background technique
[0002] Acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS; EC 4.1.3.18, also called acetolactate synthase or ALS), is the first enzyme that catalyzes the biochemical synthesis of branched-chain amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine ( Singh (1999) "Biosynthesis of valine, leucine and isoleucine," in Plant Amino Acid, Singh, BK, ed., Marcel Dekker Inc. New York, New York, pp. 227-247). AHAS is the action site of 4 different herbicide families in structure, including sulfonylurea (LaRossa and Falco (1984) Trends Biotechnol. 2:158-161), imidazolinone (Shaner et al. (1984) Plant Physiol) .76:545-546), triazolopyrimidines (Subramanian and Gerwick (1989) "Inhibition of acet...
