Abstract

This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to at least one herbicide. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to at least one herbicide, and methods of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently select the best lines for breeding strategies by avoiding sensitive lines.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 780,946, filed Mar. 9, 2006 and U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 888,634 filed Feb. 7, 2007, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to compositions and methods useful in creating or enhancing herbicide resistance in plants. Additionally, the invention relates to plants that have been genetically transformed with the compositions of the invention.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In the commercial production of crops, it is desirable to easily and quickly eliminate unwanted plants (i.e., “weeds”) from a field of crop plants. An ideal treatment would be one which could be applied to an entire field but which would eliminate only the unwanted plants while leaving the crop plants unharmed. One such treatment system involves the use of crop plants that are tolerant to a ...
